Surviving New England's Great Dying

Season 16 Episode 14 | 29m 39s

It's been more than 400 years since the first Thanksgiving. And there is a lot we are learning about that time. Just prior to the Pilgrim's arrival, a plague decimated New England's coastal Native American population, altering the course of colonialism. This Emmy winning story from NHPBS shows how tribal leaders are learning from the past as they deal with the effects of today's pandemic.
