THE NATIVE LEADER WHOSE HEAD WAS DISPLAYED FOR DECADES
But Native communities remembered something different.
They remembered the loss of land.
They remembered the destruction of villages.
They remembered families divided by captivity.
They remembered the death of political leaders.
They remembered a world in which their communities had been independent powers and then became increasingly constrained by colonial authority.
The difference between these memories is not a minor disagreement about emphasis.
It changes the meaning of the entire war.
