  • The Beginning of Winchester on Massachusett Land
    Posted at www.winchester.us/480/Winchester-History-Online THE BEGINNING OF WINCHESTER ON MASSACHUSETT LAND By Ellen Knight1 ENGLISH SETTLEMENT BEGINS The land on which the town of Winchester was built was once SECTIONS populated by members of the Massachusett tribe. The first Europeans to interact with the indigenous people in the New Settlement Begins England area were some traders, trappers, fishermen, and Terminology explorers. But once the English merchant companies decided to The Sachem Nanepashemet establish permanent settlements in the early 17th century, Sagamore John - English Puritans who believed the land belonged to their king Wonohaquaham and held a charter from that king empowering them to colonize The Squaw Sachem began arriving to establish the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Local Tradition Sagamore George - For a short time, natives and colonists shared the land. The two Wenepoykin peoples were allies, perhaps uneasy and suspicious, but they Visits to Winchester were people who learned from and helped each other. There Memorials & Relics were kindnesses on both sides, but there were also animosities and acts of violence. Ultimately, since the English leaders wanted to take over the land, co- existence failed. Many sachems (the native leaders), including the chief of what became Winchester, deeded land to the Europeans and their people were forced to leave. Whether they understood the impact of their deeds or not, it is to the sachems of the Massachusetts Bay that Winchester owes its beginning as a colonized community and subsequent town. What follows is a review of written documentation KEY EVENTS IN EARLY pertinent to the cultural interaction and the land ENGLISH COLONIZATION transfers as they pertain to Winchester, with a particular focus on the native leaders, the sachems, and how they 1620 Pilgrims land at Plymouth have been remembered in local history.

By using multiple lines of evidence, including archaeology, documentary research, oral history, and fine and decorative arts, the exhibition shows how each thread contributes something unique to Plimoth Plantation’s understanding, re-creation, and interpretation of the past. Rather than a traditional commemorative 400th anniversary exhibit, History in a New Light is forward-looking and invites visitors to consider how the past serves as a foundation for the future. It is also distinctive as the first major exhibit displaying artifacts from the Wampanoag village of Patuxet and the site of the original 1620 European settlement, which were discovered in 2016 by Project 400 archaeologists. In addition to finding the first evidence of these overlapping settlements, this research has forced scholars to reevaluate their understanding of daily life in early Plymouth and the nature of colonial and indigenous interactions.

  • Our Corn Is Still Standing: Indigenous Foodways and Identity in New England
    Our Corn Is Still Standing: Indigenous Foodways and Identity in New England By: Elizabeth Ann Berton-Reilly In the late spring we plant the corn and beans and squash. They’re not just plants- we call them the three Sisters. We plant them together, three kinds of seed in one hill. They want to be together with each other, just as we Indians want to be together with each other. So long as the three sisters are with us, we know we will never starve. The creator sends them to us each year. We celebrate them now – Onondaga Chief Louis Farmer (LaDuke 2005:153). In the very beginning of time, according to the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Sky Woman came down from the heavens and carried with her the seeds of corn, beans, and squash, known as the Three Sisters (Mann 1997). As corn grows tall, it serves as a pole for the beans to climb. The beans fix nitrogen into the soil and the large squash leaves shade the ground. The Three Sisters represent cooperation, and each plant nourishes our bodies in different ways and nourishes the earth together. Introduction In this age of processed foods and processed cultures, how can we make food culturally empowering? Can the act of growing our own food and eating what our ancestors ate nourish us in ways we never thought possible? Food is literally what sustains us—how can we make it more sustainable? By going back to their ancestors’ traditional foods, Indigenous peoples today are rediscovering a healthier way of eating. Through tapping into how their ancestors grew specific foods and how they prepared them, old ceremonies return.

INDEX NEW HAMPSHIRE NEW HAMPSHIRE 1600 By this point at least, Passaconaway (“Child of the Bear”) had become headman of the Penacook. He lived at the top of the Pawtucket Falls in what would become Lowell in what would become Massachusetts. At this point, upstream at what would become Concord in what would become New Hampshire, there were about 2,000 English settlers. NOBODY COULD GUESS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT New Hampshire “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project HDT WHAT? INDEX NEW HAMPSHIRE NEW HAMPSHIRE 1614 Captain John Smith, sailing along the New England coast, wrote back to England that: Here should be no landlords to rack us with high rents, or extorted fines to consume us. Here every man may be a master of his own labor and land in a short time. The sea there is the strangest pond I ever saw. What sport doth yield a more pleasant content and less hurt or charge than angling with a hook, and crossing the sweet air from isle to isle over the silent streams of a calm sea? The Massachusett indigenes probably had experienced first contact with Europeans intrusives at an early date, perhaps as soon as John Cabot in 1497, but they are first mentioned specifically in surviving records by Captain Smith as he explored the coast of New England.

ABSTRACT Pressures brought about by the European settlement of northeastern North America during the seventeenth century shaped the history of the Perrnacook Confederacy which developed in the Merrimac River Valley. Early contacts with Europeans encouraged the formation of the confederacy as Micmac raids, epidernic disease and initial English settlement pushed the survivors of coastal Pawtucket villages and the inland Nashaways to accept the leadership of Passaconaway, sagamore of Pennecooke village.
