Drums will be RI based Eastern Medicine Singers, Strong Eagle Daly, Nipmuc, fluteThis year is the 350th anniversary of Metacomet's Resistance, better known as King Philip's War, and the Great Falls Massacre. During the uprising, people from eastern tribes came to the Pocumtuck Homelands to seek refuge at a familiar welcoming place where they gathered annually for thousands of years during the fish runs. Just before dawn on May 19, 1676, a brutal massacre occurred. Colonial militia attacked one of the refugee encampments where women, children, and elders slept. The thunderous roar of the falls covered the sounds of encroaching danger. More than 300 non-combatants were killed. Historians consider this tragedy the turning point of the war which ended a few months later in August.The Nolumbeka Project invites the public to attend the Day of Remembrance: Commemoration of the Great Falls Massacre.
