Metacom, also known as King Philip, was a Native American leader of the Wampanoag tribe, best known for his role in King Philip's War (1675-1676). He united several Native American tribes in New England in a resistance against English colonial expansion, aiming to protect their lands and way of life. His efforts highlighted the tensions between Native Americans and European settlers, and although the war ultimately led to significant loss for Indigenous peoples, it marked a pivotal moment in colonial history and reshaped relationships in the region. Metacom's legacy is often viewed as a symbol of the struggle for Native American rights and sovereignty.
