As a whole, the text set aims to challenge the myth of the “vanishing Indian” and illustrate the many ways that the Wampanoag Nation continues to survive in New England today.]]> 2023-07-20 22:10:10

Commonwealth of Massachusetts to speak at a state dinner commemorating the 350th anniversary of the first Thanksgiving.  Prior to the actual event, the event organizers asked for a copy of his speech.  When they read the speech he intended to deliver, his invitation to speak was rescinded because his remarks were “too inflammatory.”  The speech linked here is the speech that Wamsutta originally wrote, which describes the choice of Massasoit, the Sachem of the Wampanoag, to welcome and help the English settlers as “perhaps our biggest mistake.”]]> 2023-07-20 22:24:16 UTC

was the son of Massasoit, who had been generous to the pilgrims, but by the time Metacomet became sachem, Metacomet had seen the continual intrusion of the pilgrims onto Wampanoag land.  He was also unhappy with continued efforts on the part of the settlers to convert the Wampanoag people to Christianity.  This print depicts a treaty negotiation between Metacomet and the settlers in 1676, but the
