Second panel at today's #Indigenous History Conference is on colonization in America and features Lisa Brooks (Abenaki), Marjorie O'Toole, Tyler Rogers (Narragansett), and Jason Mancini. #indigenoushistory @Plymouth_400
Lisa Brooks: What true history is buried beneath the narratives? It is emerging through the work of many people, including those we've heard this weekend. Discusses Weetamoo of the fertile land of the Pocasset in Wampanoag Territory.
Brooks: Native women planted fields in the area, they were leaders. Colonizers tried to say the lands weren't settled but they were. King Phillips War was one against women and their planting fields.

Thomas Wickman is the first panelist of the first session, discussing wintering well in Native New England. 1300-1850 considered a Little Ice Age and the 1600s were among the coldest temps. Native communities were equipped to live well during these times. @Plymouth_400
Wickman: Tropes imply that modern history begins with European colonists. But there were millennia of winters that occurred before 1620. 17th c sources make clear that Indigenous families moved toward colder conditions, not away from them as colonists did.
Wickman: Native oral histories, written texts allow us to learn about the true history. Wickman and others have been careful to challenge colonial archive to understand bias of European writers of source materials.

Day 2 of the #Indigenous History Conference will feature panels on #colonization in American history. The first will include Jean O'Brien (Ojibwe), Tom Wickman, Darius Coombs (Mashpee Wampanoag), jessie little doe baird (Mashpee Wampanoag), and Robert Miller (Eastern Shawnee).
First, Mark Charles (Navajo) will be speaking on the doctrine of discovery. Many people in Native communities have researched and written on this in attempt to bring it to the forefront.
Charles: Doctrine of Discovery, (like one papal bull written in 1452 by Nicholas V.) Church in Europe commanded Europeans to colonize, take over, steal, conquer lands. That people inhabiting those lands are inhuman. @wirelesshogan

Now listening to @candacytaylor as part of @Neon_Speaks talking about "Highway Life: Roots of Black Travel in America" and her book Overground Railroad.
The Green Book published 1936-1967; covered US and international destinations. Distributed by Black owned businesses and via mail order. Victor Green strategized to increase circulation via word of mouth. Provided ideas for safe accommodations for black people.
When the Green Book was first published, over half of the towns along Rt 66 were sundown towns. Most people who wrote about Rt 66 were white males. Taylor wanted to stop the romanticizing of it.

Next at the Indigenous history conf @Plymouth_400 is a panel on traditional life incl Gkisedtanamoogk (Mashpee Wampanoag), Annawon Weeden (Mashpee Wampanoag/Pequot/Narragansett), Donald Soctomah (Passamoquoddy), Paulla Jennings (Narragansett), David Weeden (Mashpee Wampanoag).
Gkisedtanamoogk: Life BC--Before Columbus--was one of deep, abstract thought and being. Why didn't Columbus see the sophistication, peace, culture of the peoples he encountered? A nuanced culture that can live *with* the earth.
Annawon Weeden: Born after boarding school era, but still found it challenging to grow up defending Indigenous identity. Part of growing up were the traditions and lifestyle of many generations. Their calendar and cycles are a part of life, as well as female leadership.
