Waitehanks Wirathonks and Pequot Bridelike Flight
A narrative passage traces Waitehanks and his rivals among the Mosquetusseta and Pequots, focusing on love between Mattepaid and Waitehanks' daughter. After vows and a failed marriage proposal, Waitehanks' anger escalates to threats of violence, culminating in a departure toward the Moheogs and eventual exile. The text reflects on cycles of vengeance, intertribal conflict, and the encroachment of white settlements ending in displacement and eroded Native lands.
