Hello Historians, hopefully this will be an interesting and engaging topic for you to discuss!

In short, I read a few comments somewhere and the gist of it is this:

"Some puritans decided to leave their colonies to go live with the native Americans"

Other comments indicated that young puritan children who were kidnapped did not try to escape and return to their own people. This was chalked up to the natives having better quality of lives due to their millennia of experience on the land. Others equated it to the strict lifestyle of the puritans and the children enjoying the more "free spirited" life of the native population.

So my question is: is there any truth to these claims? Are there any primary sources I can read about this? I tried to Google it but I wasn't able to find anything that fit the question. So any answers, or even some concise topics to Google, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
