War for the Dawnland: King Philip's War Reimagined

The events that are commonly known by Western Scholars as “King Philip's War” (1675-1678) have been largely told through settler-colonial perspectives viewing events “from the land” instead of “from the boat." Participants will hear a retelling of the events leading up to, during, and after this historical conflict from a Wampanoag perspective that takes into account written primary sources, oral history and continued cultural epistemologies.  Brad Lopes, our speaker, is an Aquinnah Wampanoag citizen and serves as the Education Manager for his Tribe's Education Department.
