#Mashpee Wampanoag

“The Wampanoag Common Lands, as the project is called, seeks to restore a 32-acre (13-hectare) former Catholic summer camp on the banks of the Muddy Pond in Kingston to something closer to what it might have looked like before European colonization transformed it.The Native Land Conservancy, the local Native group that received the donated land this year, envisions a natural environment filled with indigenous plants and animals where Wampanoags can practice cultural ceremonies and educate new generations in traditional ways.Ramona Peters, a Mashpee Wampanoag who founded the conservancy, said the effort is all the more meaningful because the land is some 5 miles from where Pilgrims arriving on the Mayflower established the English colony of Plymouth, near the remnants of a Wampanoag community wiped out by European disease.“

Abraham Lincoln of "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that" fame called for "Thanksgiving" specifically to celebrate the fruits of the genocide of Indigenous people. Mark Charles, author of Unsettling Truths: The Ongoing, Dehumanizing Legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery, has a free book study and lecture on the history of the holiday:

Learning for Justice has an excellent guide for educators:

Teaching about Thanksgiving in a socially responsible way means that educators accept the ethical obligation to provide students with accurate information and to reject traditions that sustain harmful stereotypes about Indigenous peoples. Thankfully, there are excellent online resources that can help educators interested in disrupting the hegemonic Thanksgiving story.

Project Archeology provides links to resources and activities adaptable for all grade levels.

The National Museum of the American Indian offers a comprehensive resource with teacher-facing ideas and activities for grades 4-8.

Plimoth Plantation has a Just for Teachers section that outlines professional development opportunities, workshops, a virtual Thanksgiving field trip and activities that incorporate the Wampanoag perspective. In one interactive activity, kids are detectives figuring out what really happened at the first meal.

The Mashpee/Wampanoag Tribe’s brief history and cultural timeline outlines the nation’s “contact experience” from their contemporary perspective.

Challenging the dominant and inaccurate narrative about Thanksgiving, providing students with a more balanced perspective of this oft-romanticized holiday, and refusing to dress students in feathered headbands are socially responsible actions. They’re actions that every teacher should undertake to benefit their students and the society their students will inherit.

X, formerly known as Twitter user writes: A Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe member just pulled out the Palestinian flag during the Macy's Thanksgiving parade. They tried to cut away but he kept finding the camera. [source: @ harryduboiss] [Brief video description: A Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe member appears in the background on the float, among several their fellow Tribe members who are waving to the crowd of people; they hold up a Palestinian flag as high as they can with their arms raised high -hoisting it above their head and maneuvering it around whenever the camera moved.]

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Male turkeys are called “gobblers,”, and females are called “hens”. This is because only males produce the distinct “gobble-gobble” sound that turkeys are known for; this call is used to announce themselves during the mating season and compete with other males.

(Image: A gaggle of male wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) by October Greenfield)

This Thanksgiving, please consider donating to the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, one of only three surviving tribes of the original sixty-nine in the Wampanoag Nation.

Prayer for the Landwights

Dancers on the swirling breeze, Painters of the morning dew, With love and reverence, we honor you. Shepherds of the living wood, Speakers of the rustling plains, We sing your praises on the winds and rains. Tenders of the blooming buds, Nourishers of the fertile earth, We recognize your immeasurable worth. Hail the Landwights!

Statement of Responsibility

While I sit on this land violently begotten, I offer my respect and sorrow to the Mashpee Wampanoag people, both past and present. Not a relic of history but a proud, living culture.

I solemnly recognize the struggles you face against ongoing sociopolitical, environmental, and physical violence and the continuing work that your allies must do to eliminate white supremacy.

I offer my prayers to the ears of your ancestors in a moment of somber reflection and grief for the lives and traditions lost. May peace, power, and justice find the People of the First Light.

Note: I live in Massachusetts, but I encourage you (particularly if you reside in the United States) to research your area’s historical and contemporary Native peoples and cultures and how to best support them in legal, environmental, and other efforts.

To find out how you can get involved and/or help support the Mashpee Wampanoag people, visit their website, subscribe to their newsletter, and follow them on social media.

I watched the Macy’s Parade today to see the Luffy balloon, and shout out to the member of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe who used their air time to wave a Palestinian flag 

#from the river to the sea #palestine

[refabled]

indigenous and oppressed people stand with each other. nothing more heartwarming than seeing various indigenous tribes (the mashpee wampanoag tribe in particular) stand with palestine during the macy's parade. the colonized understand one another and stand with each other, and they will never forget.

#indigenous folk understand that all colonizer violence is linked #no peace until EVERYONE has peace #happy thanksgiving i guess and fuck colonization and FUCK israel #･ﾟ . 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳 𓆱 ooc.

The New England-based Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe issued a statement after an unexpected demonstration involving a Palestinian flag took place on their float during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City on Thanksgiving morning.

In a still image shared by the tribe, someone in the background can be seen holding a small red, black, white, and green flag above their head.

The tribe didn’t identify who held up the flag but made it clear in a statement that they didn’t endorse the actions.

“It’s unfortunate that we are not focused on the beautiful display of our culture and history at the Macy’s Day Parade but rather on the actions of an individual tribal citizen. We want to make it very clear that the Tribe takes no stance on the conflicts overseas,” the statement read.

The tribe added, “Our Tribal Nation remains focused on the issues we face on our ancestral homeland. While we cannot speak for an individual’s actions, his actions were not a Tribal decision. Our governing tribal body, along with the other tribal citizens on the float, were not involved with his actions.”

The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, also known as the People of the First Light, has inhabited present day Massachusetts and Eastern Rhode Island for more than 12,000 years, according to their website.

In 2015, the federal government declared 150 acres of land in Mashpee and 170 acres of land in Taunton as the Tribe’s initial reservation, on which the Tribe can exercise its full tribal sovereignty rights.

The Mashpee tribe currently has approximately 3,200 enrolled citizens.
