Metacomet, also known as King Philip, and his people feared the encroachment of English settlers on their lands, which threatened their way of life and sovereignty. The increasing colonization, loss of territory, and the imposition of foreign laws and customs created a sense of urgency and desperation among Indigenous peoples. They were also concerned about the loss of their culture and the devastating impact of European diseases on their population. These fears ultimately led to King Philip's War, a violent conflict between Native American tribes and English settlers in New England.
