Mapping the Dragon: An Indigenous History of Bacon’s Rebellion
Rarely acknowledged in historical narratives, Virginia’s Indigenous nations shaped American history in countless ways, including the events surrounding Nathaniel Bacon’s 1676 insurrection. Our panel brings together the project team, drawing on traditional ecological knowledge alongside military history, environmental and archaeological evidence, and both traditional and non-traditional documents to highlight the Indigenous perspectives of what is now known as Bacon’s Rebellion. This event will take place on at 6PM on Wednesday, July 15th at Jamestown Settlement (2110 Jamestown Rd, Williamsburg, VA 23185).
