We always look to happier stories, but the story of the Plymouth colony's
interaction with Natives was not always happy. Perhaps the greatest of the
Native/Colonial conflicts was King Philip's (Metacom) War.

I think if one is going to tell the story of that first settlers who sit
down to eat with the Natives in 1620, one should be equally ready to
discuss the disintegration of Native culture as a result of Puritan
settlement.

Sincerely,
Emmanuel Dabney
