Surviving Enslavement During the War for New England 1675-1676

February 24 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

2025 marks the 350th anniversary of the start of The War for New England (King Philip’s War). In response to this important assertion of the sovereignty of Dawn land’s Indigenous peoples, colonial officials instituted a widespread policy of captivity, enslavement, and trafficking people out of Dawnland into the Caribbean, Mexico, North Africa, the Azores, and Europe. This presentation tries to understand this history through some of the stories of survival of individuals and communities in this pivotal conflict.
