Religion & Faith
Founding of Praying
Towns in New-England
1673: John Eliot on Praying
Town Indians
“…; they have a deep
sense of their own
darkness and ignorance,
and a reverent esteem of
the light and goodness of
the English, ...”
[Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Vol. X,
1809: 127]
Father John Eliot (1604-1690)

1792: Daniel Gookin on Indians of New-England
“[…] generally they acknowledge one great supreme doer of good; and
him they call Woonand, or Mannitt: another, that is the great doer of evil
or mischief; and him they call Mattand, which is the devil; and him they
dread and fear, more than they love and honour the former chief good
which is God.
There are among them certain men and women, whom they call
powows. These are partly wizards and witches, holding familiarity with
Satan, that evil one; and partly are physicians, and make use, at least
in show, of herbs and roots, for curing the sick and diseased. […]
These powows are reputed, and I conceive justly, to hold familiarity
with the devil; and therefore are by the English laws, prohibited the
exercise of their diabolic practices within the English jurisdiction, […]
Satan doth strongly endeavour to keep up to this practice among the
Indians: and these powows are factors for the devil, and great
hinderers of the Indians embracing the gospel. It is no small
discouragement unto the Indians yielding obedience unto the gospel,
for then, say they, if we once pray to God, we must abandon our
powows; and then, when we are sick and wounded, who shall heal our
maladies?”
[Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Vol. III, 2nd series, 1815: 92]
10
Christian Indian = Civilized Indian
1795: Dr. Ramsay on Indians in Southeastern USA
“We here consider the Indians as a people who cannot be
civilized; who do not increase, but decrease; so that their
extinction is contemplated by our most reflecting citizens.
[…] Our back-country settlers generally say, that to tame
wolves is as impracticable as to civilize Indians.”
[Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Vol. IV, 1795: 99]
1807: Indians on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts
“The Indians were converted to the christian faith; and
attempts were made to reduce them to a state of
civilization.”
[Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Vol. III, 2nd series, 1815: 92]

John Mason in “A Brief History of the Pequot War”:
“And indeed such a dreadful Terror did the Almighty let fall upon their Spirits, that
they would fly from us and run into the very Flames, where many of them
perished.”
“Thus we may see, How the Face of God is set against them that do Evil, to cut
off the Remembrance of them from the Earth. […] Thus the Lord was pleased to
smite our Enemies in the hinder Parts, and to give us their Land for Inheritance:
…”

Pequots sold into slavery to Bermuda and the West-Indies
Use of the designation “Pequot” was outlawed by colonial authorities
Puritan Account of 1643:
“And in the war, which we made against them [the Pequots], God’s
hand from heaven was so manifested that a very few of our men in a
short time pursued through the wilderness, slew, and took prisoners
about 1,400 of them, even all they could find, to the great terror and
amazement of all the Indians to this day; so that the name of the
Pequots […] is blotted out from under heaven, there being none that is,
or (at least) dare call himself a Pequot.”
[Hauptman, Lawrence M. 1990. “The Pequot war and its Lagacies”. In: Hauptman, Lawrence M. & James D. Wherry. 1990. The Pequots in
Southern New England: The Fall and Rise of an American Indian Nation. p. 76]

Western (Mashantucket) Pequot
Indian Federal Recognition
“Historians and
anthropologists
visiting
today’s
Mashantucket
Pequot community get the distinct
impression that these terrible past
events are still very much a present
reality to these Indians. The ways in
which the Pequots, who are always
conscious of the War of 1637,
commemorate this tragedy, interact
with both their Indian and non-Indian
neighbors and build the modern-day
community are similar to other
survival
experiences
after
genocide.”

Blessing Ceremony on Ground Zero
(November 13, 2001)
Dr. Henrietta Mann
(Northern Cheyenne
Healing Woman)
“At some point it was as if I had
suddenly developed “Eagle” wings and
vision and I was looking down from
some very high place above. Not only
could I see what happened on
September 11th, I could see the “Trail
Where the Cherokee Cried;” I could see
two of my great-Grandmothers at Sand
Creek, one rapidly riding away on a
pony, her little brother behind her. I saw
so much more and I understood even
more.”
54
“I sadly understood how far from spiritual
center that some people have strayed, made
apparent by the lack of respect for human
life. It was obvious that the interconnectedness and inter-relatedness of all
life is severely weakened or non-existent.
Thus, it is critical that our teachers and
grandparents continue to pass on their
teachings about what is to be a human being,
a fully developed whole person who stands
respectfully and responsibly in the great
circle of life. Simply, we cannot continue to
be fragmented in self or disconnected from
one another as the for children of earth from
the sacred white, red, yellow, a white [sic; i.e.
“black”]
quarters
of
the
universe.”
[Dr. Henrietta Mann, 2002]
