Wetamoo is often unknown to most people in American history, probably because she was around just after the far more famous Pocahontas. Weetamoo grew up knowing she would lead her tribe, but English settlers were making the world a much more dangerous place, bringing sickness and war, causing her to go head to head with them at the head of an army. come and learn about the most famous warrior and leader you probably haven't heard of!This podcast is sponsored by Common Era Jewelry.

Maps of New England during King Philip's War At the end of July 1675 two important things were happening at once. King Philip, known as Metacom to his people, and the sunksqua Weetamoo, were in flight along with at least 250 of their people. Reports coming into the colonial militias in the Fall River area suggested that Philip and Weetamoo intended to cross the Providence River and head for Nipmuc country. Farther north, at almost exactly the same time, Massachusetts Bay Colony had heard rumors that the Nipmucs had joined, or were soon to join, King Philip's Wampanoags. The Nipmucs occupied the strategically important territory between the settled towns of Massachusetts Bay near Boston and places like Springfield on the Connecticut River. From the Bay's point of view, it was important to determine whether the Nipmucs were in the war or would remain neutral. Since Edward Hutchinson had succeeded in extracting a purported treaty from the Narragansetts, Massachusetts dispatched him into Nipmuc country with Thomas Wheeler and twenty horsemen to do the same. Sadly for all the people of New England, Hutchinson and Wheeler would set in motion a chain of events that would cause this awful war to spread everywhere in the region east of the Connecticut River. The New English would find themselves waging a brutal counterinsurgency, with all the tactical problems of irregular war in our own time.

This spring and summer I got lucky enough to be a WAMS Ambassador for the Women and the American Story program at the New-York Historical Society. I can't emphasize enough how wonderful this resource is, and in this episode, I tell you a bit about WAMS, but also highlight three women that struck me as incredibly interesting: Weetamoo, a sachem in the Wampanoag confederacy, Sarah Roelfs Kierstede van Borsum, a Dutch woman who served as Lenni Lenape interpreter, and Sybilla Masters, the first person to have a patent in the English colonies.

In PART 2 of this episode, Kelsie and Brooke discuss the American frontier in the early English colonies, tensions within the colonies and tensions with the indigenous Americans they interacted with. They hit on topics like the Roanoke settlement, Jamestown, Pocahontas, Bacon's Rebellion, Puritanism, Anne Hutchinson, Weetamoo, and more--- there's a reason it took two episodes!

Lisa Brooks, Associate Professor of English and American Studies at Amherst College, recovers a complex picture of war, captivity, and Native resistance in Our Beloved Kin: A New History of King Philip’s War (Yale University Press, 2018). Brooks narrates the stories of Weetamoo, a female Wampanoag leader, and James Printer, a Nipmuc scholar, whose stories converge in the captivity of Mary Rowlandson. Through both a narrow focus on Weetamoo, Printer, and their network of relations, and a far broader scope that includes vast Indigenous geographies, Brooks leads us to a new understanding of the history of colonial New England and of American origins. Brooks’s pathbreaking scholarship is grounded not just in extensive archival research, but in the land and communities of Native New England, illuminating the actions of actors during the seventeenth century alongside an analysis of the landscape and interpretations informed by tribal history. Readers can also participate in a remapping of the “First Indian War,” later renamed “King Philip’s War.” Ryan Tripp is an adjunct instructor for several community colleges, universities, and online university extensions. In 2014, he graduated from the University of California, Davis, with a Ph.D. in History. His Ph.D. double minor included World History and Native American Studies, with an emphasis in Linguistic Anthropology and Indigenous Archeology. Learn more about your ad choices.
