The Natives and the English
Relations between the early English colonists and the native people the encountered in the New World.
By and large, the history of the Natives and the English was not a happy one, even Thanksgiving wasn't all it's cracked up to be.
In this episode, you'll learn about Wahunsunacawh (who the English called Powhatan), his daughter Pocahontas, King Philip's (aka Metacom) War, and the Mystic Massacre.
The animation is helpful for students, but he speaks quickly. This video should be stopped at key moments to allow students time to process the information and have short discussion. Taking notes would be highly recommended and maybe even watching the video twice. This would work for online learning or a flipped classroom.
