SUMMARY:Seminar in preparation for the October 13th Sacred Journey to Deer Island
DESCRIPTION:Join with Episcopalians across the Commonwealth to learn about colonial America’s bloodiest conflict\, a story many of us know very little about. Pokanoket Tribal Historian Don Strong Turtle Brown\, Jr. will introduce us to how early skirmishes and clashes in culture from the Native peoples’ earliest contacts with Europeans led eventually to Metacoment’s Rebellion\, commonly known as King Philip’s War. He will also tell how the legacy of that war lives on today and how Native peoples’ strength and resilience lives on. Sponsored by the Diocese of Massachusetts and the Diocese of Western Massachusetts and organized in response to the call from Bishops Whitworth and Fisher to commit our dioceses’ “to the spiritual work of racial reconciliation.” \nThis event is part of a series of offerings as part of our commemoration of the 350th Anniversary of the start of this War. Other offerings include: 1) October 12 during Sunday Worship: Commemorations in local worshiping communities 2) October 12\, 4:00 PM: A Service of Holy Listening\, on zoom\, to gather in a virtual circle to receive the gift of story from several Native voices\, each bringing a unique perspective to their experience of Deer Island\, Metacomet’s Rebellion/King Philip’s War\, and their meaning and relevance today. \nRegistration is required to get the zoom link. 3) October 13\, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Sacred Journey (by bus) from Natick to Deer Island. Registration information to come.

SUMMARY:A matter of perspective on the origins of King Philip’s War: A conversation and bus tour
DESCRIPTION:The conflict most often referred to as King Philip’s War took place between June\, 1675\, and August\, 1676\, and resulted in the death or injury of thousands of Indigenous people and colonial settlers throughout New England\, a greater percentage of the population than any other war since. The outcomes of the war profoundly altered the landscape and the future of Native Americans over the centuries and began the dominance of European cultures all the way to the West Coast. That conflict began with attacks in locations in and around Swansea\, Massachusetts. \nFrom 10:30 to Noon\, Tribal Historian Strong Turtle\, Pokanoket Tribe/Pokanoket Nation\, and Eric Schultz\, co-author of King Philip’s War: The History and Legacy of America’s Forgotten Conflict\, will discuss the causes and early course of the war at the Joseph Case Junior High School media room in Swansea\, MA. From 2:00 to 4:00 pm\, a guided bus tour will travel to four of the locations where the War broke out in Swansea. \nA conversation between Pokanoket Tribal Historian Strong Turtle and Author Eric B.

SUMMARY:King Philip's War Book Club Meetings
DESCRIPTION:The Bristol Historical and Preservation Society and Rogers Free Library are commemorating the 350th anniversary of the King Philip War with a Book Club session on April 5th. \nOn June 20\, 1675\, Pokanoket warriors killed seven colonists in Swansea in retaliation for a series of injustices suffered at the hands of the English. Generally considered the beginning of King Philip’s War\, this act led to a bloody conflict that involved every New England colony and Algonquian peoples throughout the region. Local 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 the end of the War in 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.  \n\nThe final discussion will cover the book\, The Name of War by Jill Lepore\, on April 5th. \n\nCopies of the books are available for checkout at the Library circulation desk.  \nFor more information contact BHPS or the Rogers Free Library.

SUMMARY:Surviving Enslavement During the War for New England 1675-1676
DESCRIPTION: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.
