Weetamoo (c 1635-1676)
A sachem, or tribal leader, of the Wampanoag peoples in Plymouth, Weetamoo commanded an army of over 300 warriors to drive out European settlers who had begun seizing Wampanoag land. She was beloved by her people and incredibly feared by the English. She died crossing a river in battle but her story became a rallying cry for the surviving Native warriors.
