Dispossession by Degrees : Indian Land and Identity in Natick, Massachusetts, 1650-1790 Hardback
by Jean M. (University of Minnesota) O'Brien
Part of the Studies in North American Indian History series
Hardback
Description
According to Jean O'Brien, Indians did not simply disappear from colonial Natick, Massachusetts as the English extended their domination.
Rather, the Indians creatively resisted colonialism, defended their lands, and rebuilt kin networks and community through the strategic use of English cultural practices and institutions.
In the late eighteenth century, Natick Indians experienced a process of 'dispossession by degrees' that rendered them invisible within the larger context of the colonial social order, and enabled the construction of the myth of Indian extinction.
