We live near what was once known as the Great Falls, Peskeompskut, on the Quinnehtukqut River in the Pocumtuck Homelands. For 12,000 years tribes from all over the Northeast gathered at the falls to celebrate the bounty of fish runs, to share technology, trade, find spouses, and more. These huge annual intertribal gatherings ended tragically on May 19, 1676.

This year marks 350 years since Metacom's Resistance—better known as King Philip's War—and the Great Falls Massacre. During that uprising, displaced people from neighboring tribes came to the Pocumtuck Homelands to seek refuge at the familiar falls. 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 sound of the falls covered the footsteps 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, 1676. nolumbekaproject.org/350 for more information.
