“No new worlds.” This is what an art installation reads in one of several commemorations to mark the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower's transatlantic voyage.

But they were not the first European settlers to land in North America and their interaction with the Wampanoag did not remain peaceful. Subsequent decades saw waves of European diseases kill many of the Native Americans and rising tensions led to bloody wars.

The Wampanoag had suffered a deadly plague in the years prior to the Mayflower’s arrival with as many as 100,000 people killed, Peters said, which could help explain why they pursued alliances and support from the settlers.A colonial perspective undermines not only the tragedies Native Americans endured, but also their contributions to history, David Stirrup, an American literature and indigenous studies professor at the University of Kent, argues.

Without those stories being corrected, particularly by Native Americans, harmful stereotypes can persist, Stirrup said. “It's living history for descendants of the Mayflower passengers. But if you're particularly a Wampanoag Native American, this is living history in the sense that you are still living with the impact of colonization,” she said., the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Oklahoma’s Muscogee Nation to uphold their treaty rights covering a huge swath of the state.
