Metacom, also known as King Philip, was a Wampanoag leader who played a central role in one of the earliest and most significant conflicts between Native Americans and English settlers in New England during the 17th century. His resistance against colonial expansion culminated in King Philip's War (1675-1676), which was driven by his efforts to protect Native American lands and autonomy against increasing encroachment by English settlers.
