“Metacomet/King Phillip”
by Susan Marshall
As a tribute to the Native Peoples of this area, this painting was inspired by the story of the son of Massasoit of the Wampanoag’s–Metacomet, known by his English name King Phillip. The rock depicted is based on the stories of Metacomet holding councils and meeting with settlers at a large glacial erratic in Royalston. He was a ‘King’ among his people and fought tirelessly for their right to their lands, their native beliefs, and their way of life.
