So that's whose side you're on

Did I write that I was on his side? However...
In 1620 the Wampanoag high chief, Massasoit, made a peace treaty with the Pilgrims, who had landed in the tribe’s territory; the treaty was observed until Massasoit’s death. Bad treatment by settlers who encroached on tribal lands, however, led his son, Metacom, or Metacomet, also known to the English as King Philip, to organize a confederacy of tribes to drive out the colonists (see also King Philip’s War). The colonists eventually defeated and killed King Philip and other leading chiefs, and the Wampanoag and Narragansett were almost exterminated. Some survivors fled to the interior, while others moved to the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard to join kin who had remained neutral during the conflict. Disease and epidemics destroyed most of the indigenous people who lived on Nantucket, but Wampanoag people survived to the present, particularly on Martha’s Vineyard.
Early 21st-century population estimates indicated some 4,500 Wampanoag descendants.
I cannot find Saxi's racist account anywhere.
I did see that after his death King Phillip's wife and nine-year-old son were captured and sold as slaves in Bermuda. Philip's head was mounted on a pike at the entrance to Plymouth, Massachusetts, where it remained for more than two decades. His body was cut into quarters and hung in trees.
The White settler's behavior in the war was reprehensible, leading Rhode Island to stay out.

Rhode Island stayed out as they had been suspended from the New England Confederation for permitting the practice of Roman Catholicism, dumbass. (But they got attacked anyway.)
Didn't you ever hafta read Endicott and the Red Cross by Hawthorne?
The American educational system is shit.I cannot find Saxi's account anywhere.
If your knowledgebase is limited to all caps Facebook posts that doesn't surprise me. Like if you're unable to even work The Google then, yes, that would be an issue.
"King Philip's War" Countryman Press (2017) is a good introduction for people entering the topic with minimal knowledge of aboriginal anthropology such as yourself. Once you're done with that I'd recommend "Flintlock and Tomahawk" (1958).
