Pequot War
The Pequot War was an armed conflict between the Pequot tribe and an alliance of the English colonists of the Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, and Saybrook colonies and their Native American allies (the Narragansett and Mohegan tribes) which occurred between 1634 and 1638. The Pequots lost the war. At the end, about seven hundred Pequots had been killed or taken into captivity.〔John Winthrop, ''Journal of John Winthrop''. ed. Dunn, Savage, Yeandle (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1996), 228.〕 Hundreds of prisoners were sold into slavery to the West Indies.〔Lion Gardiner, "Relation of the Pequot Warres", in ''History of the Pequot War: The Contemporary Accounts of Mason, Underhill, Vincent, and Gardiner'' (Cleveland, 1897), p. 138; Ethel Boissevain, "Whatever Became of the New England Indians Shipped to Bermuda to be Sold as Slaves," ''Man in the Northwest'' 11 (Spring 1981), pp. 103-114; Karen O. Kupperman, ''Providence Island, 1630-1641: The Other Puritan Colony'' (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1993), p. 172〕 Other survivors were dispersed. The result was the elimination of the Pequot as a viable polity in what is present-day Southern New England.
It would take the Pequot more than three and a half centuries to regain political and economic power in their traditional homeland along the Pequot (present-day Thames) and Mystic rivers in what is now southeastern Connecticut.〔Laurence M. Hauptman and James D. Wherry, eds.''The Pequots in Southern New England: The Fall and Rise of an Indian Nation'' (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1990).〕
==Etymology==
The name ''Pequot'' is a Mohegan term, the meaning of which is in dispute among Algonquian-language specialists. Most recent sources in claiming that "Pequot" comes from ''Paquatauoq,'' (the destroyers), rely on the speculations of an early 20th-century authority on Algonquian languages, Frank Speck; an anthropologist and specialist of Pequot-Mohegan in the 1920s-1930s, he had doubts about this etymology. He believed that another term, translated as relating to the "shallowness of a body of water", seemed more plausible.〔Frank Speck, "Native Tribes and Dialects of Connecticut: A Monhigg-Pequot Diary," ''Annual Reports of the U.S. Bureau of Ethnology'' 43 (1928): 218.〕
