I suggest to bone up on King Philip's War. New England's King Philip's War

The outcome of King Philip’s War was devastating to the traditional way of life for Native People in New England. Hundreds of Natives who fought with Philip were sold into slavery abroad. Others, especially women and children, were forced to become servants locally.

Since the Massachusetts colonists eliminated most of the Indians in New England in King Philip's War or put them into slavery, perhaps the Indian on the flag of Massachusetts state flag should have a ball and chain around his leg.

The period I was speaking of took place prior to the King Philip’s War, from the late 1620's through the 1630's.
