Mohegan |
 | | Although the Mohegan were considered an ally by the colonists, it is likely their close association accelerated the decline of the Mohegan by exposure to infection. |
| | Since any tribe, including the Mohegan, who provided refuge to the Pequot was required to pay a heavy fine in wampum to the English, the Mohegan worked their adopted Pequot like dogs to collect wampum, since the alternative was being forced to sell their land to the English colonists. |
| | To insure the Mohegan were trustworthy, two of the sons were kept as hostages for the remainder of the war, while one of them, Oneko (Oweneco), was released to lead the warriors. |
