In 1970, Wampanoag leader Wamsutta Frank James delivered a powerful speech confronting grave-robbing, enslavement, and stolen land. Despite being censored, his impact endured, leading to the founding of the National Day of Mourning on Thanksgiving.

In the 1830s, Pequot writer William Apess stood up in Boston and basically asked: why do you celebrate the colonizers as heroes and treat Metacom like a monster when Native people were the ones dispossessed, enslaved, and killed?

Ousamequin’s son Metacom, known as “King Philip” to colonizers, stood up against treaty violations and land seizures. He fought for justice despite unfair English courts. Weetamoo, a bold Pocasset Wampanoag sunksqua, defied English expectations by leading warriors alongside him. #IndigenousHeroes
Fucking heroes. To hell with that concentration camp.

Cover of a book called Go Show the World: A Celebration of Indigenous Heroes Wab Kinew pictures by Joe Morse Picture is of an indigenous person, smiling with arm outstretched and flexed hand. They have short dark hair and are wearing a white long sleeve shirt and a vest with colorful triangles creating a design. Their arm is on the horizon. Above the arm are trees and a cloud filled sky with the sun in the middle. Below the arm is the reflection in the water of the trees, the clouds in the sun with ground foliage on the bank.
