How did the colonists and Wampanoags view land, nature, and life differently, and how could these differences lead to misunderstandings and conflict? Objectives King Philip’s War was one of the bloodiest and costliest wars in American history. The conflict, know as King Philip’s War, soon spread to the New Hampshire and Connecticut colonies. In 1675, hostilities broke out in the town of Swansea. Still, the treaty was honored until 1662, when Metacomet, known to the English as King Philip, became the tribe’s leader, and relations between the Wampanoag and colonists became very tense. For example, colonists let their livestock run loose and destroy Wampanoag crops. Those who did convert were called "praying Indians." There were many differences between the groups, which eventually led to conflicts. The colonists actively worked to convert the Wampanoag to Christianity.

The Wampanoag, Samoset, and Tisquantum all helped these Europeans learn how to adapt to the land in this "New World." The two groups cooperated for some time. The colonists also could benefit from the alliance.
The Wampanoag believed that the colonists, with their powerful weapons, could be an ally in the case of a Narragansett attack. The Wampanoag population had been greatly reduced by epidemics. One band of Wampanoag, led by Sachem (or leader) Massasoit, made an alliance with these colonists. In 1620, a group of Europeans, today called Pilgrims, landed and settled around Cape Cod. Today there are 3,000 Wampanoag who are organized in five groups: Assonet, Gay Head, Herring Pond, Mashpee, and Namasket. After English colonists settled in Massachusetts, epidemics continued to reduce the Wampanoag to 1,000 by 1675. When the colonists we now call Pilgrims arrived in 1620, there were fewer than 2,000 Wampanoag. Some villages were entirely wiped out (such as Patuxet). Three epidemics swept across New England between 16, killing many Native peoples. There were sixty-seven tribes and bands of the Wampanoag Nation. Wampanoag means "People of the Dawn" in the Algonquian language. Both oral tradition and archaeological evidence suggests that Native peoples lived in the area for 10,000 years. In 1600 there were as many as 12,000 Wampanoag who lived in forty villages. The Wampanoag people have lived in southeastern New England for thousands of years. Much of what is known about early Wampanoag history comes from archaeological evidence, the Wampanoag oral tradition (much of which has been lost), and documents created by seventeenth-century English colonists.
