Pequot Thing.


1.     They had a relatively good relationship. Things started to change because of distrust and religion.
2.      The Pequot’s were a very high up family that was very respected. They were the dominant tribe.
3.      They left for a very spiritual reason. They had to leave everything they owned and everyone they knew behind. They had to leave for the sake of not being persecuted.
4.      Pequot’s believed in the nomad style of living, using the land as it could provide. They also thought woman were equals. Puritans on the other hand believed that if you could not tame the land, you did not own it. They believed that the woman had no rights or had they had to work. The Indians thought that they babied their wives. The puritans thought that they had to kill to take over something, but the Pequot’s believed in a peaceful way of taking over.
5.      The Native Americans would be pushed off the land and they would have to trade too much.
6.      They were unhappy with the way the Pequot’s way of economy. They did not tame their land, baby their woman, or have a good defense.
7.      Not really, they wanted to be a powerful tribe. The Pequot’s would take their woman and children and breed with them. The Pequot’s had to go down; so the Indians thought.
8.      If they came in peace they would have been able to trade more, and they would have mated with them. I think it would have been better for them if they came peaceful.
9.      They built a bingo hall for income, then a police station, then a casino, and then a school. Not in order.
1.  Awesome. Like a swimming pool. It outlawed anything that was Pequot related. They were making the tribe extinct
1. . They used visuals with reenacting, knowledge, and people from the tribe. Yes because it tells the tory from both sides of the conflict.
1. It was the fist sign of racism towards the Indians. It made the Indians realize that the white people were not good for anything that they had to offer.
