SUMMARY:Surviving Slavery: The Sale of Indigenous People in King Philip’s War (In-Person + Livestream)
DESCRIPTION:Surviving Slavery: The Sale of Indigenous People in King Philip’s War is a hybrid public history talk\nwith historian Linford D. Fisher (Brown University) examining the deliberate campaign to enslave Native\npeoples during the War for New England (King Philip’s War). \nContent note: This program includes discussion of war\, captivity\, forced labor\, family separation\, and trafficking. \nEvent Details\n\nDate: Wednesday\, April 8\, 2026\nTime: 6:00–7:30 PM (Eastern Time)\nTickets: Free (registration required)\nFormat: In-person + livestreamed online\nIn-person location: Colonial Society of Massachusetts (Beacon Hill)\n87 Mount Vernon Street\, Boston\, MA 02108\n\nImportant Registration Note\nIn-person capacity is limited to 50 seats. Please only select an in-person ticket if you are certain you can attend.\nIf you are unsure\, we strongly encourage you to choose virtual attendance so in-person seats can remain available\nto those who can use them. \nAbout the Talk\nOne of the lesser-known realities of King Philip’s War was the systematic effort to enslave Native people. Indigenous men\,\nwomen\, and children—including non-combatants—could be captured and forced into servitude. Colonial authorities sometimes offered\nclemency to those who surrendered\, yet still shipped people out of the region or placed them into English households for years\nof coerced labor. \nIn this presentation\, Fisher traces the lived realities of Native families and communities through captivity\, forced separation\,\nand trafficking—sometimes to destinations as far as the Caribbean and North Africa. He also explores how these losses were used\nto justify further land seizure\, even as Native communities persisted and continued pressing for sovereignty. \nSpeaker\nLinford D. Fisher is an Associate Professor of History at Brown University and the principal investigator of\nStolen Relations: Recovering Stories of Indigenous Enslavement in the Americas\, a community-centered\,\ntribal-collaborative digital project documenting Indigenous experiences of slavery and servitude. \nRelated Book & Resources\n\nStolen Relations (project):\nwww.stolenrelations.org\nStealing America: The Hidden Story of Indigenous Slavery in U.S. History (Liveright/Norton\, 2026):\nPublisher page\n\nCopies may be available for purchase at the event. Please follow on-site instructions for payment options. \nSupport Public History\nThe Partnership of Historic Bostons is an all-volunteer organization. While events are free\, donations help make programs like\nthis possible.

SUMMARY:Defiance in Native Arts & Representation
DESCRIPTION:Participate in an essential dialogue about the resilience\, creativity\, and lasting influence of Native art. \nDate and Time\nThursday\, October 16\, 6 – 7:30 PM MDT \nLocation\nMuseum of Boulder at Tebo Center\n2205 Broadway Boulder\, CO 80302 \nHow has art acted as a significant form of resistance for Native communities over the last 500 years? This thought-provoking panel will unite contemporary Native artists and art scholars to explore how their creations (along with those of other Indigenous artists) address historical injustices\, reclaim Indigenous narratives\, and foster a future rooted in self-representation. Join us for an enlightening discussion on the resilience\, innovation\, and lasting significance of Native arts. \nPanelists\nTom Myer\nTom Myer is a Native artist who relocated to Boulder in 2019. He identifies as Haudenosaunee (historically referred to as the Iroquois) on his father’s side and Ngbe-Bugle from Meso-America on his mother’s side. A self-taught artist\, he specializes in acrylics\, pastels\, pencils\, and digital media. \nDallin Maybee\nDallin Maybee\, a Seneca and enrolled Northern Arapaho\, was raised on the Cattaraugus territory of the Seneca Nation of Indians in Western New York. He is a skilled artist\, public speaker\, and performer\, currently serving as the Assistant Director of Development at the Native American Rights Fund (NARF). Dallin holds a B.A. in Philosophy and a Juris Doctorate from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law\, focusing on Federal Indian Law. His artwork is featured in numerous private collections and museums nationwide\, including the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian\, the Autry Museum\, the Heard Museum\, and the Portland Art Museum. Dallin has received multiple accolades\, including Best of Show at the Santa Fe Indian Market (2007) and the Cherokee Art Market (2020). \nNico Strange Owl\nNico Strange Owl is a member of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe of Montana and has collaborated with Indigenous art and artists for over forty years. She currently owns Eagle Plumes\, a historic trading post located near Longs Peak in Allenspark\, Colorado. Her extensive experience includes roles as a beadworker\, appraiser\, and consultant for Native art\, as well as working with museums and operating galleries. Nico is also a descendant of survivors of the Sand Creek Massacre\, deeply connecting her to Colorado. \n \nFeatured Image\nTom Myer notes on the featured image: “I appreciate this image\, despite it being created by a non-Indigenous artist. It can serve as a discussion starter. Titled ‘The Murder of Whites Assistant\,’ this piece from the 1880s allegedly depicts Mr. White’s assistant (Mr. White was a cartographer) being attacked by arrows from Native peoples outside the Roanoke colony. Although the representation is notably one-sided\, the dramatic composition illustrates a moment of defiance against encroaching colonization.” This print is from Cassell’s History of the United States\, by Edmund Ollier\, Volume I\, published by Cassell Petter and Galpin\, London\, circa 1880.
