Synopsis

The Pequots in conflict and cooperation with English settlers, from land grants to church and schoolwork.

This historical sketch traces the rise, disruption, and long aftermath of the Pequots' order in 17th- and 18th-century New England. It covers land seizures, contested boundaries, and the shifting plans of colonial authorities as they tried to control and “civilize” the Pequot people. The narrative also looks at how missions and schooling tried to teach and convert, with mixed results, against a backdrop of war, tribute, and ongoing settlement.

- How land and borders shaped power between the Pequots and neighboring colonies
- The system of wampum tribute and the debates over its continuation
- Efforts to merge the Pequots with other tribes and the consequences for their land
- The role of missionaries, schools, and religious authorities in changing Pequot life

Ideal for readers of early American history, colonial policy, and Native history who want a grounded, documentary account of a pivotal Indigenous people in New England.
