1. Who was John Sassamon and what does his death tell us about tensions between Native Americans and English colonists in the run-up to King Philip's War? 2. Did Native Americans produce written accounts of King Philip's War? If not, what does this lack of representation by Native Americans mean in terms of how later generations of readers could understand the conflict? 3.

And, how did the English fear they could become like the Native Americans?
