This deerskin bullet pouch has an opening in the center to hold ammunition (bullets or shot). It has fringed ends and porcupine quills as decoration.  The pouch was one of four gifts given to the Reverend Stephen Williams by his brother-in-law, Arosen.  Stephen and his sister Eunice were captured as children in a 1704 raid on Deerfield, Massachusetts, by the French and their Native American allies.  More than 100 captives were marched to Canada.  Stephen was eventually redeemed and became the minister in Longmeadow, Massachusetts.  Eunice refused to return, was adopted into a Kanien’kehaka (Mohawk) family and renamed Kanenstenhawi.  At age 16 she married Arosen, who was from her same community.  Kanenstenhawi and Arosen visited her Deerfield relatives several times and this shot pouch was presented to Stephen on one of their visits.
