Massachusetts Native Americans:
A Lost Heritage
It is beyond our scope to deal comprehensively with the enormously
complex issues of Colonial and Native American relationships. That these relationships
include obvious and arrogant English social, intellectual and racial bias, coupled
with predictable, but extraordinary enchroachment upon the lands of Native Americans, few
could doubt.
That Native Americans, caught up in the complexity of values
heretofore alien, fueled by perceived monetary and power advantages, perhaps caused some
of their own demise, can also be noted. We welcome your contributions that have basis in
fact. You can email us,
anytime.

NATIVE AMERICAN GEDCOM To go there Click Here A
first attempt at cataloging some of the very early Native American families and names in
gedcom format can be found by clicking on the link below. This section is devoted to
discovering, as possible, and over time some of those early Massachusetts Native Americans
who are so infrequently mentioned in the early histories. It is a beginning!
It most surely has errors and omissions as early material relies heavily upon tradition
and English translation of Native American names and hertiage. We welcome
input and contributions. It is in gedcom format.

Enquirer, and possibly set the stage for some of the documents here.
