I want to know the answer to the following question:
Residents of what particular area have awareness of this link to Native American heritage?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The best-known examples were the Algonquian peoples who were exiled from the southern New England colonies and sold into slavery in the 17th century, notably in the aftermaths of the Pequot and King Philip's wars.". Is that enough to answer the question?
