Sholan was the leader (sachem) of the Nashaway tribe who lived on small hill between the two Waushacum Lakes in what is now Sterling, Massachusetts. Bypassing Willard's trading post in Concord, Sholan often visited Thomas King's trading post at Watertown to sell pelts, and developed a friendship with King.
