Although less well known than the Filles du Roi, most people with French-Canadian ancestry have at least one of these brave women as their ancestors.

The war concluded with the decisive defeat of the Pequot. At the end, about 700 Pequots had been killed or taken into captivity. Hundreds of prisoners were sold into slavery to colonists in Bermuda or the West Indies; other survivors were dispersed as captives to the victorious tribes.
