Timeline: Bounty Systems in Ckuwaponahkik, the Dawnland and the Eastern Woodlands
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.
