Re-enactors help bring Native American perspective of the Revolutionary War to life
The American Revolution succeeded in making the 13 colonies independent from Britain, but for Native people, the war resulted in displacement from their homelands and an expansion of American encroachment.
As the country gears up for the 250th anniversary of the United States declaring its independence, Native re-enactors and historians are working to bring Native peoples’ involvement in key moments of this time in history to life. Their work spans events from the Siege of Boston to the divisions the war spurred within the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.
Tune in to hear from Native historians about the effort to better portray the time of the American Revolution with accuracy and authenticity.
