Ned wears a long ponytail and the kind of sweater you imagine a professor would wear. matched

Ned and I have been talking about this history for years. matched

He, along with Nick Estes and some other Indigenous scholars, helped shape the idea for this podcast. matched

I wanted Ned to tell me the story of why the founders hated Indigenous people so much they put it in the Declaration of Independence. matched

Ned says that story starts a couple decades earlier with this big, big war. matched

Was it kind of like World War Zero? matched

It started as a fight over who would control North America, and it eventually covered the globe. matched

Great Britain won, and they got a bunch of land from France. matched

This land spans from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico and from present-day New York to Minnesota. matched

The colonists are thrilled. matched

Those celebrations come to a halt in the summer of 1763, when news spreads of an Indigenous uprising. matched

The land England took over from France is still controlled by Indigenous nations. matched

What England actually wins in the war, in real terms, is forts, about 13 forts stationed around the Great Lakes. matched

As the new Fort Boston town, England thinks it can push Native nations around. matched

And that angers indigenous leaders. matched

An Odawa chief named Pontiac forms a multinational indigenous military alliance to push back. matched

But could you just tell me a little bit more about who Pontiac is? matched

Pontiac and his soldiers go around and attack British forts. matched

One of those attacks was particularly brilliant. matched

Some Anishinaabe warriors go to this fort in northern Michigan, as they often did to trade. matched
