No Refuge: Colonialism and the Wampanoags of Cape Cod with David Silverman

Sunday, December 13 @ 3 PM

This lecture will explore colonialism in the lives of the Wampanoags of Cape Cod across the centuries. Though Cape Cod managed to escape the violence of King Philip’s War of 1675-76, that should not overshadow how the English and their successors exploited Cape Wampanoags over the long term.

A joint project of the Truro Historical Commission and the Truro Historical Society, this guidebook was created to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Mayflower in Cape Cod Bay in 1620 and is an update of the 1984 guide that celebrated the 275th anniversary of the founding of Truro.
