THE INDIANS. 2. Paup-mun-muke, Sachem of Massapee. 3. Sea-qu-uncks, Sachem of Scorton. 1. lyannough, Sachem of Mattakeeset. The Indians of Cape Cod seem to have been of a different race from those that inhabited the other parts of New England. They were peaceable, never engaged in any wars against the English, desired to have schools established, to be instructed in the doctrines of the christian religion, and in the arts of civilized life.

The Indian could not sell, and the white man was forbidden to purchase. Guardians were appointed to watch over and pro- tect them ; benevolent and charitable men provided funds for the support of ministers of the gospel and teachers of the young, and the poor had provision made for them.
