Massachuset Indian Chiefs and Leaders
Crispus Attucks, a notable figure of mixed Indian and African heritage from Massachusetts, led the crowd during the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770, becoming the first casualty of this pivotal event in American history. His death symbolized the growing resistance against British rule and marked a significant moment in the Revolutionary struggle. Meanwhile, Chickataubut and Corbitant represented leadership among the Massachuset, with Chickataubut fostering early English relations while opposing encroachments on tribal lands, and Corbitant striving to unite forces against English settlers.
