The American Revolution reverberated across New England, touching the lives of the many Indigenous peoples living there. The Northeastern tribal nations reacted to the conflict in support of their sovereign interests; some chose to fight, while others engaged in diplomatic conversations with British and American leaders. Join us for a discussion centered around roles that Indigenous individuals and nations played in the American Revolution and the effects the war had on them. Lorén Spears will discuss the experiences of the Narragansett people, unfreedom, sovereignty and Indigenous service in the 1st Rhode Island Regiment. Christine DeLucia will reflect on how Indigenous communities in Revolutionary-era New England lived, labored, resisted, and organized.
