This text argues that Indians did not simply disappear from colonial Natick, Massachusetts as the English extended their domination. Rather, it argues the Indians creatively resisted colonialism, defended their lands, and rebuilt kin networks and community through the strategic use of English cultural practices and institutions. In the late 18th century, Natick Indians experienced a process of dispossession by degrees that rendered them invisible within the larger context of the colonial social order, and enabled the constructionof the myth of Indian extinction. The text discusses the dispossession and the implications for the Nantick Indian community.
