Zoom Program: Freedom for Who: Indigenous Nations and the American Revolution with Heather Bruegl
Spurred by the French and Indian War, Pontiac’s Rebellion and the Proclamation Line, the American Revolution changed the world and ultimately the land that would become the United States. Indigenous nations were placed in a position to decide how best to protect their lands and people. Working on promises made to them by the Patriot cause, many nations ultimately fought for the Colonists. Learn who these nations were, what their contributions were to the struggle for Independence and the the ultimate betrayal they faced afterwards.
ABOUT HEATHER: Heather Bruegl is a public historian, activist, and decolonial education consultant who works with institutions and organizations for Indigenous sovereignty and collective liberation.
