Indigenous peoples fight for land, history in Rhode Island and New Mexico – Workers World
21.9.17
Indigenous peoples fight for land, history in Rhode Island and New Mexico – Workers World: Potumtuk is the spiritual center of the Pokanoket Nation and was also the site where Po Metacom, leader of a regional revolt against the colonizers in the 1670s, was beheaded. English settlers then grabbed the land. In more recent years, Brown University’s Haffenreffer Museum has been located on part of Potumtuk.
The Pokanoket and some of their allies marched on Sept. 5 outside Brown’s student convocation ceremony, marking the beginning of the school year. They did this to draw attention to their struggle and provide information to students. The Pokanoket and Brown University are currently in discussions, as the encampment continues.
