kbot, and all dedicated pirates; just like our great ancestor was a land locked pirate to the British Crown in 1630's Massachusetts Bay Colony. :P

This piece of alternative weird news was gathered this evening from Coast to Coast AM's home page, is right up your alley kbot!

"Mr. Pynchon and the Settling of Springfield, Massachusetts": by artist Umberto Romano :shock:

This mural's detailed article claims the male Native American is sitting in a canoe. I say it's a casket that includes several jugs of "White Lightning"! :oops: The good reason it was highlighted at Coast to Coast is the fact it looks as if this sitting warrior is looking at a large Smart Phone! 8) And they're right kbot! :o

https://postalmuseum.si.edu/indiansatth ... ural9.html

Whew! Our Lowe side of the family's great ancestor was left out of the story and it begins during the same period he was the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony! 8)

Search Google or Wikipedia for John Endicott :idea: and you can spell his last name this way too, Endecott. I've always included the i and not the e. :wink: :mrgreen:

The mirror as a white man's gift/ "trinket" is sure making the rounds! :lol:

Like the article, I'm going to opt for the mirror theory. We have a TON of these sort of mural in this part of the country, with a lot of artistic license.

I'm in agreement on the mirror theory kbot. It's a wonder blankets and beaded necklaces were not in the mural too. Many years later the British military gave away red blankets infused with disease and I want to add small pox was the worst gift! :( Maybe that was just a conspiracy and not a fact. :?

The largest outdoor mural in our area superbly depicts our locally raised :oops: FUTURE :oops: Baseball Hall of Fame member, Gil Hodges. It's located on a downtown building's north side in Petersburg, IN @ the Jct of SR 61 & SR 57. Google search Gil Hodges baseball mural Petersburg, IN. Which is something I should do also. :idea:

Thanks for the fast reply kbot. :D

Not a problem MK -

My Dad told me a long time ago that he was part Native American on his mother's side. Her family came from a part of Quebec which has a reservation located near the town. The possibility of having Native bloodlines fascinated me for years but it was difficult to prove until records started to become available on the internet and I've been able to prove through Canadian records that my grandmother is partially descended from the Maliseet (Wolastoqiyik) tribe of what is now Quebec and Maine.

I've had an interest in Native Americans since the early 70s and have done a lot of reading as well as interacting with the various tribal members around here, which are mostly Narragansett or Wampanoag - both were wiped out in the 1600s by interactions with the Dutch and then the English.

This story here reports on a reburial of the Wampanoag sachem Massasoit, who lived only a few miles from where I live in what is now nearby Warren, RI. There was a ceremony to rebury the great leader who's remains had been scattered over the years......

Wampanoag Massasoit Returned to Original Burial Site

Published May 14, 2017

Hundreds of tribal members attend ceremony to mark occasion

WARREN, RHODE ISLAND – For centuries, the remains of the Wampanoag Massasoit 8sâmeeqan (pronounced oosa-meek-kwan) had been scattered far and wide.

Saturady afternoon, the re-internment of the Wampanoag leader who signed the first treaty with the Mayflower’s Puritan pilgrims in 1621 was commemorated at his original burial site in Burrs Hill Park overlooking Narragansett Bay.

“Today is a very special, spiritual day. It’s somber and yet we celebrate being able to bring his remains back to Burrs Hill,” Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal Council Chairman Cedric Cromwell said at today’s ceremony, which was attended by over 150 tribe members and officials from the Town of Warren.

The ceremony included traditional drumming and songs, somber reflections and food.
http://nativenewsonline.net/currents/wa ... rial-site/

I try to make it at least one pow wow each year, but haven't been so far this year. The Wampanoag and Narragansett both have large turn outs with members of various tribes coming from as far away as New Mexico and Arizona as well as Canada and the Dakotas......

MK, along the same lines of the above, this is an essay written by a Penobscot (named Sherri Mitchell). The Penobscot , is a tribe related to the Maliseet and they are in Maine.

I was just reading this and was struck by how this sounds a lot like what I used to hear on Coast when Art was running the ship..........

Snippet:

Our individual stories begin with the story of our creation. My creation stories have come to me through the teachings of my tribe. My tribe is Pehanwabskek, the Penobscot Nation, a small island nation that floats in the Penobscot River. We are the people of the dawn land, the keepers of the Eastern gate. Our relatives are the Peskotomuhkati, Wolastoqiyik and Mi’ kmaq’i (Passamaquoddy, Maliseet and Mik Maq); together we are the Wahponahki. Our homelands are located along various waterways in Maine and the Canadian Maritimes.

I was born Penahwabskek and grew up on a small Indian reservation in central Maine. My community is located on a small island flanked on its eastern side by a series of white-water rapids. Penahwabskek literally means the place where the white rocks come out of the water. It was here that I first learned of my place in creation.

8) Hey kbot, thanks for the historical Original American aspects of your family and your area of New England! This ending piece describes what Art Bell would include for his late night listeners. :wink:

Credited to Sherrie Mitchell: another snippet....... :o .

"Our origination stories begin in the stars. When we go into ceremony, we learn that the stars contain our original instructions, held in the dust of Creation that lingers on the Creator’s hand. We were born from the radiance of that star dust. From it, the great migration of souls first began."


I think we're on that same track of life's origins. :oops: But most people don't have a clue how certain the Native American's collective thoughts were of their Creation. The Bering Strait's human migrations seemed a bit too certain for me at a young age. :? South America's Native Americans arrival below the Equator was always omitted from OUR history books. :oops:

Yeah MK, early New England history is strange amalgamation of conflicting cultures. Literally only a few feet from my house is where one of the earliest battles in American English Colonial history took place - the start of what became known as King Philips War. It started here in Swansea, Mass and spread across Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts Bay Colony and into what is now all of New England, New York and into Canada and is the bloodiest campaign in American history. You don't hear a whole lot about it in the history books through. At the time, the colonies were a series of scattered homes and farms with strategically-placed garrison houses. The main settlements were at Plymouth, Providence and Boston and the furthest western outposts were at Deerfield near the present border with New York state. Dense forests covered the landscape and al roads were dirt pathways.

An excellent book, Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson, describes the events from her perspective as her community was attacked:

Snippet:
Mary (White) Rowlandson was a colonial American woman who was captured during an attack by Native Americans during King Philip's War and held ransom for 11 weeks. After being released, she wrote A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson, also known as The Sovereignty and Goodness of God. It is a work in the literary genre of Captivity Narratives. It is considered to be one of America's first bestsellers, four editions appearing in 1682 when it was first published.
https://www.amazon.com/Narrative-Captiv ... rowlandson

Montaup (Anglicized as Mount Hope) is the ancestral home of the Wampanoag and the seat of power of the Wampanoags and their sachems Massasoit and his son Metacom/ Metacommet (King Philip to the English colonists). Metacommet led the war and rallied the Wampanoag, Narragansett and Mohawks against the colonists. I can see Montaup from my place

kbot,

That history of your immediate area was way more than I ever knew and you wrote it all from memory! Swansea's Native American history was not recorded in our 1966 era high school US History books! :oops:

Man 'O War was a super famous Triple Crown winning Thoroughbred race horse in the by-gone days! King Phillips War was so bloody the history books failed Americans again. Just this wee AM while scrolling down Twitter Men and Women 'Nearly at War's multiple videos out in Berekley, CA, had that human clash showing far more Tweets than Texas' terrible high winds and historic flooding levels of Hurricane Harvey :!: :?:

At least this 1930's mural's called much needed www attention to the Native American's plight in early 1620's SE Massachusetts' Atlantic shores! All for the wrong reason kbot! :roll:

Once that first big ship landed, long after but including the Nina, Pinta, & Santa Maria, the Native American cultures have been strained to the max! :(

In closing, only they knew where we all originated; far out among the stars! :o

If that last line seems too far fetched, that's what Linnea's Fantastic Forum is all about! :mrgreen:

Well MK, it is no wonder that this story is rushed in history classes, if covered at all as it is such an embarrassment for the young country. The actions clearly are genocide as the colonists targeted and attacked unarmed children the elderly and women. Many times they burned them alive in their homes, attacking at night. Food stores were raided and destroyed and captives sold into slavery.

The story further below is from one Massachusetts website. In terms of absolute numbers, King Philips War was not the bloodiest war. In terms of percentage of the population killed/ casualties inflicted, it far outstrips the Civil War. And, stop to think - this is how the Native American population then viewed the colonists. As a result of this war, most of the tribes in southern New England were eliminated and the northern New England tribes and New York tribes went over to the French, who treated the tribes in Canada somewhat better, although their descendants today will certainly disagree.

My grandmother's family tribal member's land was reduced to 0.17 hectares of land in Cacouna, Quebec. At one time they roamed all the lands from Acadia and Maine on the Atlantic to the St Lawrence River in Quebec......

Snippet:

Cacouna is a Maliseet First Nations reserve in Quebec, physically located within the Rivière-du-Loup Regional County Municipality (though not juridically part of it).[2] It is surrounded by the city of the same name.

It is the smallest reserve in Canada, with an area of only 0.17 hectares (0.42 acres, or 18,300 square feet). It is not permanently inhabited

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cacouna_I ... rve_No._22

On This Day...
...in 1675, Wampanoag warriors killed seven colonists in Swansea in retaliation for a series of injustices suffered at the hands of the English. This raid is generally considered the beginning of King Philip's War, a bloody conflict that would involve every New England colony and all the peoples of the Algonquian nation. Over the next year, members of the Abenaki, Narragansett, Nipmuc, and Wampanoag tribes attacked more than half of all the settlements in New England and reduced about a dozen towns in Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay colonies to ashes. By August of 1676, more than 600 settlers had died and 1,200 homes had been burned. An estimated 3,000 Native Americans died at the hands of the English.

Background

In 1662 the governor of Plymouth Colony summoned Wamsutta, the young sachem, or chief, of the neighboring Wampanoag tribe, to meet with him. Distrustful of the Englishman's intentions, Wamsutta refused and was forcefully escorted to Plymouth by armed settlers. Days later, Wamsutta's men carried their leader home, dead. Inexplicably he had become ill shortly after his conference with colonial officials. Wamsutta's brother Metacom, called Philip by the English, succeeded him as sachem. Metacom firmly believed white settlers had poisoned Wamsutta; many Wampanoags agreed, further heightening tension.

By the 1670s there were more than 50,000 English colonists living in New England, and they were steadily encroaching on land held by native people. Decimated by diseases Europeans brought to America in the early 1600s, the Algonquian population had fallen to about 20,000. The settlers and Native Americans were no closer to understanding each other and their respective cultures than at the beginning of the century. The Reverend Increase Mather captured English sentiments toward Philip and the Indians when he described the Wampanoag leader as one of the "heathen people amongst whom we live, and whose Land the Lord God of our Fathers hath given to us for a rightful Possession."

In June 1675 simmering hostilities erupted into open warfare. Early in the month, following a highly questionable trial, Plymouth authorities hanged three Wampanoag men for the alleged murder of John Sassamon, a Native American who had been raised and educated among the Puritan elite. Metacom was enraged. On June 20th, Wampanoag warriors burned several farms in Swansea. Three days later, a Swansea man shot and mortally wounded a Wampanoag. The attack on the 24th was the native warriors' revenge. Terrified Swansea settlers abandoned their farms and took refuge in garrisons.

Plymouth Colony sought help from Massachusetts Bay Colony and together their militias tried to corner Philip. He eluded them and fled to his Nipmuc allies in central Massachusetts. In the month that followed, Wampanoags attacked Taunton and Old Rehoboth; they burned much of Middleboro and destroyed the village of Dartmouth.

Time and again, ill-trained and poorly-prepared colonists found themselves thwarted by native warriors who used guerilla-type tactics, were far more skillful marksmen, and could easily pick up and move their camps.

The Narragansett, feared and respected for the prowess of their warriors, had initially stayed out of the conflict, but in the late fall of 1675 rumors circulated among the English that the tribe was preparing for war. On December 19th the English staged a pre-emptive strike. A combined force of 1,000 men from Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, and Connecticut colonies attacked a fortified Narragansett village. (Rhode Island, under Roger Williams's leadership, declined to participate.)

In what became known as the Great Swamp Fight, Englishmen slaughtered approximately 600 Narragansett men, women, and children. The English declared it a huge victory — a questionable conclusion since the Narragansett immediately joined the alliance of native warriors and subsequently killed scores of settlers and destroyed hundreds of homes.

By the spring of 1676, the English had abandoned Springfield, Deerfield, Northfield, Brookfield, Lancaster, Groton, Mendon, Wrentham, Swansea, Rehoboth, and Dartmouth. Algonquian warriors staged raids in Chelmsford, Andover, Haverhill, Woburn, and as close to Boston as Braintree.

While the native peoples' tactic of remaining constantly on the move prevented the English from counterattacking, it made it impossible for the Indians to grow and harvest food. Algonquian food supplies began to run low, a fact their enemies were quick to notice.

In May 1676 the Nipmuc established camps along the Connecticut River, about five miles north of Deerfield, to fish and plant crops. Flush with recent victories, they let down their guard. The English had good intelligence and, when word reached them, 150 men staged a dawn attack. They killed primarily women, children, and old people as they slept. The Nipmuc warriors regrouped, fought back and then pursued the English, killing 39 of them. Their natives' losses were estimated at 200.

The following month, the English staged an offensive and forced the Indians to abandon their newly planted fields. In July colonists resumed their pursuit of King Philip. They captured his wife and nine-year-old son and sold them into slavery. King Philip was betrayed by one of his own men, who shot and killed him on August 12, 1676. Englishmen decapitated and quartered his body. They placed his head on a stake and marched it through the streets of Plymouth, where it remained in public view for years.

Colonists systematically hunted down the other Indian leaders, killing some of them on sight and convincing others to surrender with promises of amnesty, then executing them. In September, Massachusetts Bay Colony declared that any native person responsible for English deaths would be killed and all remaining Indians sold into slavery. Most of the enslaved were shipped to the West Indies, an almost certain death sentence.

By late 1676, English settlers had effectively cleared southern New England of its native inhabitants. A small number of King Philip's people — Metacom's Wampanoags — managed to survive. They sustained their culture in Mashpee on Cape Cod and on Martha's Vineyard.

Below is a good timeline of events..... Of course, there is a lot more information out there. This is very, very basic. A point to be remembered too, is that towns are named: Swansea, Rehoboth, Dartmouth, etc. These represent what were very large tracts of land which were subsequently further subdivided into many new cities and towns after war was over.

These lands were, essentially, stolen from the local tribes, who's leaders clearly did not know what sort of land deal they were entering in to since the concept of land ownership did not exist in their culture. They believed in a common-use system where even competing tribes could and did share the lands. So, the Wampanoag were puzzled by the new restrictions being imposed on them by this new culture and couldn't understand why they suddenly could not use land which they had been freely using for generations.

Also, this timeline starts with "Plymouth Governor Josiah Winslow’s house attacked", but mentions nothing of the history from 1620 when the Plymouth Colony was established and this date in 1675..........

:o After all my years as a H buff, you've set me straight knowing more than the sad fact our ancestor on our Lowe side, attacked Block Island beginning the ultimate demise of the Pequot tribe in the mid 17th Century. :(

The first trailer's movie seems to be set in the early/mid 18th Century. The 17th Century's Abenaki tribe is mentioned in the movie 'Northwest Passage'.

Then actually the 17th Century Chief Wamsutta (Boris Karloff) is a notable part in 'Unconquered', but it's set in the mid 18th Century :!: So Hollywood knows it's own scripts in made to fit American history, but not so much US history! :P

Edited now after 3 PM CST noting my miss nomer of who Boris played the part of, it was Gyasutta and not sachem Wamsutta. :oops: I'd been too long since I had watched Unconquered. :idea:

Something else MK - the early colonists (being here first after-all) and their descendants, made out like bandits (which they were, depending on your perspective.....). Take Benjamin Church of RI for example. In RI, he's a hero. You'll find his name all over the place, especially in a small town called Little Compton where he and his family settled..... You'll see similar stories with people who eventually became our modern-day elites and have controlling interests in a number of corporations.

History

According to 17th century land evidence, Little Compton originally belonged to the Sakonnet (variations include Sogkonate, Seconit, Seaconnet, etc.) tribe, who were led by Awashonks, the cousin of Metacomet (commonly known as King Philip). The area was known by the same name, which means “the black goose comes.”

The first European settlers in Little Compton were Englishmen from Duxbury, Massachusetts in the Plymouth Colony who sought to expand their land holdings. After first attempting negotiations with Awashonks, they petitioned the Plymouth Colony, which granted them their charter. In a series of lotteries beginning in 1674 and ending in the early 1680s, they divided the land in Little Compton into lots of standardized acreage and began settling there. Of these 32 original proprietors was Colonel Benjamin Church. Church was well known for his role in the late 17th-century conflicts with surrounding Native American tribes, notably the Narragansetts and Wampanoags. In 1675, Church built his homestead in Little Compton, just prior to King Philip’s War. Today, a plaque on the side of West Main Road gives the location of his original homestead.

In 1682, the town was incorporated by the Plymouth Colony and renamed Little Compton. This is possibly a reference to Little Compton in Warwickshire, England. However, there is no direct evidence to substantiate this relationship. By 1747, Little Compton secured its own royal decree and was annexed to Newport County as a part of Rhode Island along with Tiverton and Bristol. Because Little Compton was once part of the Plymouth colony, all probate and land records prior to 1746 can be found in Taunton and New Bedford.

Sites of historic interest in Little Compton include the Wilbor House, built in 1692 by Samuel Wilbor, now the home of the Little Compton Historical Society. The entire town commons is also on the National Register of Historic Places.

There are about 57 historic cemeteries in the town. Colonel Benjamin Church and his family are buried in the Little Compton Commons cemetery, as is Elizabeth Pabodie, the eldest daughter of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins of Mayflower fame. The stones in the cemetery reflect a style of carving similar to that found both in Newport and in Boston during the same time period.
