Praying towns were communities established in colonial New England during the 17th century, primarily by Puritan settlers, to convert and civilize Native Americans to Christianity and European ways of life. These towns aimed to segregate Indigenous populations from their traditional cultures, providing them with education and religious instruction. The concept was part of a broader effort to assimilate Native peoples, often undermining their social structures and traditions. The most notable example is the praying town of Natick, founded in 1651.
