Northeast Cold Case

The British invasion of Long Island in 1776 didn’t land on empty ground.

This new episode of Revolutionary Refugees follows Native families on Long Island and along the Connecticut coast as war turns their homelands into a military zone, their water routes into borders, and their identities into labels that erase them.

Watch how Indigenous land loss, refugee flight, and a “hidden” Long Island–Connecticut frontier come together in one story—and why it still matters today.
