In 1637, English and allied #Native forces massacred hundreds of #Pequot people at Mystic, #Connecticut, an event that Winthrop declared a “day of #thanksgiving.” To many Indigenous people, Thanksgiving represents not #gratitude but #mourning. A #Cultural #betrayal, #genocide, and #cultural erasure.

In 1833, William Apes, a Methodist minister and member of the #Pequot nation journeyed to #Mashpee Plantation. Apes had heard that nearby settlers were causing trouble for the Mashpee residents. Settlers stole wood from their land, grazed livestock on their farms, and fished in their waters.

The event has been characterized as an act of genocide and was pivotal in ending the #PequotWar. In the following years, the #Pequot name and language were outlawed, the tribe dispossessed of their lands, and remaining Pequots forced into neighboring tribes or sold into slavery in the Caribbean.
