Natick Historical Society

Explore a new digital exhibit about Natick's Indigenous Mural and hear perspectives from Natick Nipmic Tribal Members.
Created in 1937, Natick’s Post Office mural, John Eliot Speaks to the Natick Indians, depicts the forced removal of the town’s Indigenous residents during Metacom’s (King Philip’s) War. The mural sparks curiosity — and debate. How was it shaped by the values and assumptions of its era? And what does it mean to Nipmuc people living in Natick today?
Come explore a new digital exhibit created in partnership with Natick Nipmuc tribal members Carolyn Hasgill and David Yancey and Wellesley College professor Erin Battat. Discover the hidden histories behind the mural. Hear stories about growing up Indigenous in Natick. And share your thoughts about how the mural shapes our understanding of the colonial past and our responsibilities as neighbors today.
