Who are “Native Americans”?
In your notebooks, write a definition on what you think a Native American is – it can be a description or bullet points.

Who are “Native Americans”
•Native Americans are the indigenous people of North America.
•There is not a consensus of one common name for Native Americans to include: Indians, Native Indians, and First Americans.
•They usually lived, and still do, in large tribes that are political entities.Are these Native Americans similar to those you would find in
the Caribbean – like the Arawak? Why or Why not?

Dilemmas When Studying Native American History• Terminology – as there is no one consistent
word to describe these indigenous people it is difficult to keep track of their history
• Lack of Sources – Native Americans used oral history and pictography to pass down information
• Cultural Polyphony – different dialects lead to different translations
• Continuity and Changes – issues or events that contribute or detract from Native American society

Native American and English Relations•Native Americans assisted white settlers
in adapting to the land including the cultivation of new crops as well as the highly prized beaver pelts
•The white settlers would trade with Native Americans in weapons and other manufactured goods as well as alcohol
•The most important commodity is land

Choices To Be Made
Massasoit
• Chooses to establish relationship with the English settlers• Some of the tribesmen perceive this as weak and leave the tribe, however, Massasoit remains in power
Why would Massasoit choose to establish this relationship?
![Page 15: Native Americans Opportunities and Dilemmas Amy Gerade Lawrence International High School.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649ed95503460f94be81ca/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Dilemmas in Maintaining Peace
•In order to maintain the uneasy relationship between the English and Native Americans, Massasoit does the following:
SOLD LARGE TRACTS OF LAND TO THE ENGLISH!!!
What is a tract of land?

Dilemmas with losing land
What happens when the Native Americans start losing land to the English settlers?
•Less Food is available•Relocation
Is this the beginning of the movement of Native Americans towards the west? Why
or Why Not?

All in the FamilyThe Children of
Massasoit
MetacometOr“Philip”
Sonkanuchoo Amie
Daughter whose name is not in the English records
Wamsuttaor“Alexander”
In most societies who inherits the throne? Why?

Wampanoag Leadership
On the death of Massasoit his eldest son Wamsutta (Alexander) becomes the sachem of
the tribe
• Fur trade collapses so what is the next best commodity owned by the Native Americans?• Sold land to other colonies beside Massachusetts Bay
Colony• Summoned to Plymouth Court and after being
questioned he became ill and died
Does the timeline of events seem suspicious to you? Why or Why not?
![Page 19: Native Americans Opportunities and Dilemmas Amy Gerade Lawrence International High School.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649ed95503460f94be81ca/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Wampanoag Leadership under Metacoment “King Philip”Opportunities Dilemmas
• Initial Trade▫ Land for industrial
products and beaver pelts
• If there is a relationship, there is protection from the Iroquois
• Unite a tribe against a common enemy when they stop trading land even though the British demand it
• Tribe members are not happy about the selling of the land▫ Accused by followers of
giving too good of a deal to the British for land
• Being spied on by the British
If you were King Philip what would you do to protect your
people?

King Philip’s War• Metacomet rose up to
resist English movement onto their lands.
• Over 3 years, Wampanoag destroyed 20 towns and a 1,000 people (nearly 1/16 of the white population)
• Mohawks join the fight on behalf of the settlers and destroyed the Wampanoags
Did King Philip make the correct choice?
