Indigenous History
Dawn Neptune Adams holds a copy of the Phips Proclamation of 1755, Tuesday, Nov. 23, 2021, in Bangor, Maine. Adams recently co-directed a film that focuses on the proclamation, one of the dozens of government-issued bounty proclamations that directed colonial settlers to hunt, scalp and kill Indigenous people for money.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_and_Indian_War
The French and Indian War (1754–1763) was a theater of the Seven Years' War, which pitted the North American colonies of the British Empire against those of the French, each side being supported by various Native American tribes. At the start of the war, the French colonies had a population of roughly 60,000 settlers, compared with 2 million in the British colonies.[4] The outnumbered French particularly depended on the natives.
Now I presume the Penobscot tribe decided France was 'their side'. But the story on Yahoo news doesn't mention the war between the English and France. One sided news reporting and suddenly all white people are responsible for removing indigenous people from their land and indiscriminately killing them.
