Brown University recently finalized the transfer of 255 acres of its land to a Native American tribe.The land is the ancestral home of Metacom — also known as King Philip — the leader of the Pokanoket people. It’s also the site of his 1676 deathIn August 2017, members of the tribe and their supporters set up an encampment at the university, saying the land was illegally taken from them hundreds of years ago.
“Russell Carey, executive vice president for planning and policy at Brown, said the university’s goal remains the preservation of the land along with sustainable access by Native tribes with ties to its historic sites,” the AP article read.
Even though such universities have tens of millions of dollars at their disposal, they are not trying to use the funds to improve the lives of Native Americans, alleged An Garagiola, a descendant of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa. “Yet their existence as institutions, as schools of learning, are only there today because of everything that was taken,” Garagiola added.
