The term "praying Indians" had its roots all the way back to 1646 when the General Court of Massachusetts passed an ordinance to introduce and convert the Indian over to Christianity. Eventually, the spread throughout New England and parts of Canada. The Praying Town of Natick still exists today.

What happened to the Indians living in the Praying Towns during war between the colonists and Philip?

During King Philip's War (1675-1676), many Native Americans living in the Praying Towns, which were settlements established by English colonists for Christianized Native Americans, faced suspicion and hostility from the colonists. Some Praying Indians were viewed as traitors for their perceived loyalty to their Native tribes, leading to their imprisonment, forced relocation, or even execution. Others were caught in the crossfire of the conflict, suffering violence and displacement. Ultimately, the war significantly diminished the population and stability of these Praying Towns.
