This thesis examines the process of colonization of New England and its impact on the transformation of the cultural landscape and the lives of the Indigenous population. The introduction focuses on the reasons behind the migration of certain English communities to the New World, analyzing the social, religious, and economic factors that influenced their decision to leave, as well as their adaptation to the new living conditions. The thesis then presents the characteristics of pre-colonial New England, including a description of the natural environment and the lives of its Indigenous peoples. Special emphasis is placed on understanding their relationship between Indigenous communities and their environment, as well as the organization of their societies. The main part of the thesis analyzes the impact of colonization on the transformation of the cultural landscape and changes it brought to Indigenous life. It also examines the relationships between Indigenous peoples and English colonists and explains the process that ultimately led to the displacement of Indigenous communities from the region. The thesis concludes by discussing the long-term consequences of English colonization, which fundamentally transformed the cultural and demographic landscape of New England.
