Woman Leader of the Massachusett Tribe, who is called “Squaw Sachem” by the Tribe today, oversaw the territory that includes present-day Arlington during the influx of European settlers to the area. In the 1630s, she was forced to forfeit tribal lands to settlers in an attempt to ensure the survival of her people. She spent the remainder of her days in the Praying Town of Natick.
