What a happy Christian ending. At last they can build a new life for themselves. Only after slaughtering the natives who were only trying to defend their homeland. Here's some perspective on that Christian settler Benjamin Church: (from Wikipedia)
Church was eventually allowed to recruit Indians when traditional Army tactics of the times were unsuccessful. He persuaded many neutral or formerly hostile Indians to surrender and join his unit, where they operated skillfully as irregular troops. Some of these men had converted to Christianity in settlements before the war. These were known as Praying Indians*. After being organized by Church, these troops tracked Indians into the forests and swamps and conducted effective raids and ambushes on their camps.
*Praying Indian is a 17th-century term referring to Native Americans of New England, New York, Ontario, and Quebec who had converted to Christianity. While many groups are referred to by this term, it is more commonly used for tribes that were organized into villages, known as praying towns by those such as Puritan leader John Eliot, and Jesuit Missionaries of St. Regis and Kahnawake (formerly known as Caughnawaga) and as well as the Missionaries among the Hurons in western Ontario.

And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same."

At least Chief Pontiac ended up as an Art Deco masterpiece on the hood of a car. And he lit up along with the headlights on the most expensive models:
