Post needs to be rewritten

[edit]

The post contains the line, "Chief Wawanotewat "Greylock" was a respected and feared warrior after the Pocomtuc had left New England by the late 1700s, but continued to terrorize Western New England."

Why's he the "terrorist" if most Native communities in Massachusetts fled North by this point in time due to European invasion and aggression?

The post needs to be rewritten, as the current language is biased with the assumption that the reader is reading it from the Eurocentric point of view.

I have edited the page, it should be less eurocentric and have more useful information. Nintala 16:32, 14 April 2007 (UTC)Nintala[reply]

http://1704.deerfield.history.museum/popups/background.do?shortName=ExpWob_persistence - interesting gateway for wider Pocumtuc history, would be useful to explore later.
