In recognition of the 350th anniversary of King Philip’s War (2025-2026), the Old Colony History Museum (OCHM) continues the story of the complicated conflict from the perspective of the local native peoples. King Philip’s loyal ally, Weetamoo, was one of the “best-documented female leaders of the colonial period.” Dr. Gina M. Martino, Associate Professor of History at the University of Akron, has traced and contextualized the political and military career of the Pocasset’s female sachem. Join the OCHM, in partnership with Dr. Martino, to discover Weetamoo’s anti-colonial position and her legacy as a leader.
