Deerfield, Masachusetts was like many other colonial villages. Before European settlers arrived there, it was inhabited by the Pocumtuck Indian Tribe. In 1673, the first colonists arrived and Deerfield was incorporated in 1677. The native people living there, however, did not give up their land easily. For many years, there was tension between the Native Americans and the white English settlers who had taken the land as their own.
The Pocumtuck tribe soon became allies with the French people, who lived in Canada.
