Valhalla Rising,

Upon her face is porcelain resistance. Once tender to the touch, now stony in refracted light. Stiff is her gaze reflecting sterner thoughts of judgement and denial. Soft memories they do not serve. Pottery, though hard, is fragile. When struck and struck again she cries tears of gold to fill the cracks. Stronger in their makeup now by chemistry of bondage. Yet through each guilded line shines truth. Sweet beams of soul marks from out her shell. Cry tears of gold, the chosen paths of sadness.

Is it possible that without the aid of the other Native American tribes in the region, the colonists would not have been able to populate Connecticut and the northern American region due to the Pequot Nation? Doing research for my 3rd grader, and it's a simple project. I went deeper and started to understand that the Narraganset and Mohegan tribes allied up with the colonizers to rid themselves of the Pequots...resulting in the Pequot Massacre in 1637.

Simple question about this incredibly complicated historical event is this: is there evidence that if the Native American Tribes in that region had banded together that the English and Dutch colonies would not have taken hold, and the America we know today would not exist?
