Indians and Puritans



Based on the video we watched in class, take one of the three positions provided in the link below. Then:

A). Take a position, and write a short explanation of why the Narraganset indians should chose the option that you have suggested.

B). Disagree with the decision of at least one of your classmates by responding to their post on the blog.

C). Over the weekend, write a short speech (150-200 words) in attempt to convince your fellow tribesmen/women to follow you.  This is due on Monday.

write a short speech or a persuasive essay as if you were a Indian Sachem during King Phillip’s War.  Try to convince your fellow villagers to take your position.  What is the best option for your people?
