White Snake Projects Launches Augmented Reality Experience Exploring Boston’s Indigenous History

Chimera readability score 75 out of 100, Expert reading level.

By David SalazarWhite Snake Projects has announced “INDIGENOUS STORIES,” a new augmented reality walking tour exploring Boston’s Indigenous history.
The app was launched on June 29 and will be available through Dec. 31, 2026. It was developed in partnership with the North American Indian Center of Boston and produced and commissioned by White Snake Projects. It features new original music and lyrics by Wampanoag, Nipmuc, and other Native American artists living in Massachusetts.
The 1.2 mile trail runs from the Boston Harbor Islands Pavilion on Long Wharf to Boston Common, tracing Indigenous history through six stops in downtown Boston, including the internment of Native people on Deer Island during King Philip’s War and the hanging of Nipmuc leader Tantamous from the Great Elm in 1676. Each stop combines a written narrative with an original musical performance devised by Native creators including Thea Hopkins, Jasmine Goodspeed, and MWALIM.
“INDIGENOUS STORIES is White Snake Projects’ contribution to America’s 250th anniversary and a deliberate intervention in that conversation. As the nation marks its founding, we recognize that one essential voice is missing: the Indigenous voice,” Cerise Lim Jacobs, artistic director of White Snake Projects, said, per an official press release.
The project is commissioned by White Snake Projects with support from the MA250 Grant from the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism and the City of Boston’s Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture.
