13. Was that a Miqmaq raid?

I know there was considerable friction between the Miqmaqs and the Wampanoag.

Women and girls had such a thin time in Puritan colonies that I'm always a little amazed that more didn't run away, chuck the corset, and say "Hello, Sailor!" to the first native man they saw. Just having to listen to some man in a church droning on for hours about how girls and women were the evil temptresses of men would have done it for me.

Well, it did do it for me. I went through the 60s. 'Nuff said.
