The Pequot were originally part of the Mohegan tribe in eastern Connecticut; they split in the early 1600s since one group supported the English and the other did not.
The Pequot chief Sassacus resisted English settlement in his area, simply to preserve the lands occupied by his own people. The result was that in 1637 the English colonists, backed up by Narragansets and Mohegans under Uncas, destroyed the Pequot fortified village at West Mystic. Over 700 Pequots were killed and as many were sold into slavery in Bermuda.
You seem to have these facts a little confused, making the Pequots the aggressors instead of the victims.
The name Pequot comes from the Natick word pagwohteau, "he destroys". Ironically it as the Pequots themselves who were destroyed.

Did Connecticut have any enemies in 1636?
In 1636, Connecticut did not have formal enemies, but tensions existed with local Indigenous tribes, such as the Pequot. The English settlers, primarily from the Massachusetts Bay Colony, moved into the region, leading to disputes over land and resources. These tensions eventually escalated into the Pequot War in 1637, as settlers sought to assert control over the area. Thus, while Connecticut as a colony was not officially at war in 1636, it was on the brink of conflict with the Pequot people.
What interactions did Connecticut have with the native people?
Connecticut's interactions with Native American tribes, particularly the Pequot, Mohegan, and Narragansett, were marked by trade, cultural exchange, and conflict. European settlers relied on Native knowledge for agriculture and land use, while natives sought European goods. However, these interactions often escalated into violent confrontations, most notably the Pequot War in the 1630s, which significantly reduced the Pequot population and altered power dynamics in the region. Over time, the encroachment of settlers led to further displacement and marginalization of Native communities in Connecticut.
