Dispossession by Degrees: Indian Land and Identity in Natick, Massachusetts, 1650-1790
Jean M. O'Brien
Why did New England settlers believe that the Native peoples had vanished? This work reveals that, in the late eighteenth century, the Natick tribe experienced a process of "dispossession by degrees" that rendered them invisible within the larger context of the colonial social order, thus enabling the construction of the myth of Indian extinction.
