In February of 1704, French and Native American soldiers attacked the town of Deerfield, Massachusetts, and carried away more than one hundred men, women and children. Over one third of these never returned home, including Eunice Williams, who married a Kanien’kehaka (Mohawk) named Arosen. Forty years after the attack, Arosen and Eunice, now known as Kanenstenhawi, visited her brother, the Reverend Stephen Williams. They gave him this red slate gorget.  It is a decorative piece, fashioned after metal badges of office worn by European soldiers.
