Brown University historian Linford Fisher explores the little known fact of King Philip's War: the thousands of Indigenous people who were sold into slavery. He reveals the lived realities of Native families and communities through the horrors of family separation, enslavement, and being trafficked out of the region. Individuals - fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, and people who surrendered in battle - were shipped overseas to destinations such as Barbados, Jamaica, the Azores, and even Tangier in North Africa. Co-sponsored by the Colonial Society of Massachusetts.
