===Massacre of 1763===
During the summer of 1763, the [[Iroquois]] and Delaware came together in an attempt to form a relationship. This resulted in a deadly fire which claimed the life of the Delaware chieftain ([[Teedyuscung]]). The Iroquois charged the colonists with the crime, and the aggrieved Delaware were determined to resolve the matter. On October 15, 1763, the unsuspecting pioneers were attacked by the Delaware. Twenty or thirty were killed, several were taken prisoner, and those who were not captured fled to the mountains; they had no other choice but to return to New England. The Native Americans finally burned what was left of the English settlement.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.joycetice.com/articles/massacre.htm|title = The Massacre of Wyoming - Pennamite War}}</ref><ref name="pagenweb1"/>
