Answer 1

The Pequot War was an example of a conflict in which Indigenous peoples allied with English colonists and fought other Indigenous peoples. This conflict occurred in the 1630s in New England and primarily involved the Pequot tribe against an alliance of English colonists from the Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, and Saybrook colonies, along with their Indigenous allies, such as the Narragansett and Mohegan tribes. The war resulted in significant casualties for the Pequot and ultimately led to the decline of their power in the region.
