Owl's Head Bay Massacre and StoryMap

This StoryMap supports a place-based historical recovery initiative and mapping, which revisits James Cargill's murderous bounty rampage against Penobscot people in July 1755. Upstander Project seeks to share research into this long-erased story of colonial violence and genocide to honor the memory of Margaret Moxa and her family, as well as the memories of countless Wabanaki people who were hunted, captured, killed, and scalped for money and land by militia. It is our hope that this StoryMap will help readers un-learn the "twistory" that many of us were taught. By facing this hard history, we can work together for a future where all peoples are safe, respected, and treated with dignity. This historical recovery project supports the exercise of sovereign powers by Penobscot and all Wabanaki peoples to promote their prosperity and success.
