But when war with England erupted\, many of the men went to serve in the local militia and Continental army\, or on naval privateers\, alongside white and black comrades. As a result\, after the war\, Native communities embraced democratic rhetoric to defend their lands\, autonomy\, and religious liberties. Revolution was a process that continued through the early 1800s\, and the region’s Indigenous population was a part of that process\, even as they remained a people apart. \nJoin us for a presentation followed by Q&A.
