About This Item
Cambridge ; New York, NY, USA: Cambridge University Press, 1997. As new. Fien in fien jacket.. Small quarto in blue pictorial jacket; xiii, 224 pages: illustrations, maps; 24 cm; bibliographical references and index. Cambridge studies in North American Indian history; Variation: Cambridge studies in North American Indian history. [series].
Contents: Prologue: "my land": Natick and the narrative of Indian extinction -- Peoples, land, and social order -- The sinews and the flesh: Natick comes together, 1650-75 -- "Friend Indians": negotiating colonial rules, 1676-1700 -- Divided in their desires, 1700-40 -- Interlude: the proprietary families -- "They are so frequently shifting their place of residence": Natick Indians, 1741-90 -- Conclusion.
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.
