Upstander Project created the bounty rewards archive as a public learning and teaching resource to accompany the Bounty film project. The database includes 2,438 entries and represents several years of extensive archival and documentary research into scalp bounty acts and claims made by colonial governments and settlers in the northeastern Dawnland (later called New England), between 1675-1765.

This timeline covers the period between 1675-1765, spanning what are often known as the Six Anglo-Abenaki Wars. These conflicts (with the exception of the first, which we refer to as Pometacomet’s Resistance/King Philip’s War) were largely fought between colonial English and French forces for control of what is today northern New England and Eastern Canada.
