Join the National Park Service for a conversation with Faries Gray, Sagamore (War Chief) of the Massachusett Tribe at Ponkapoag.Ten thousand years ago, as the great sheets of ice covering North America began to recede, the Massachusett were here.When the first Europeans arrived in the late 16th century, bringing with them disease, war, and a hunger for more and more land, millions of indigenous people were killed, and more were displaced to the point that many believe there are no indigenous people left in the Boston area.Nothing could be farther from the truth.
