SUMMARY:No Safety for Us: The internment of Native Americans on Deer Island
DESCRIPTION:This year marks the 350th anniversary of King Philip’s War.   This 14-month rebellion\, which was led by the Wampanoag chief Metacom (later known as King Philip)\, was the Native Americans’ last-ditch effort to resist English authority and stop English settlement on their lands (history.com).\n\n\nSoon after the war began\, colonists set up an internment camp on Deer Island to relocate “Christianized” Indigenous people whom they believed could turn against the English and join the rebellion.  In the winter of 1675-76\, approximately 500 Native Americans were imprisoned on the island\, many of whom perished without adequate food or shelter in the harsh New England temperatures (National Park Service).\n\n\nThe Natick Historical Society and the BFL will host Shawn Quigley from the National Park Service to discuss this tragedy on Deer Island.  Shawn’s program will explore the historic use of the Boston Harbor Islands\, their role as an internment camp for Native Americans from praying towns\, and stories of survival and reliance from those imprisoned on Deer Island.\n\n\nThis program will take place at the Natick Historical Society\, located downstairs from the BFL.\n\n\nRegistration is required.
