In 1644, a combined force of Dutch and English colonists attacked a Native American village in present-day Westchester, NY. It was one of the deadliest attacks on the indigenous people on the Atlantic Coast. This is the story of that event, the colony of New Netherland (later New York), and the "River Tribes" of the Hudson River Valley.
Jon Scott Bennett, a student filmmaker pursuing a B.A. in History, will present his extraordinary documentary, The Pound Ridge Massacre,
A Dark Chapter in Early America.
