Mashpee Wampanoag Origine ...

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.

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.

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.

THIRTEEN MOONS

Poetry and visual art by Mashpee Wampanoag poet, artist, and author Robert Peters comes to life in an original, multi-media performance. The above video performance features Peters’ poetry/art collection “Thirteen Moons,” which evolved through the artist’s personal journey to reclaim traditional culture and to live in a way consistent with his traditional beliefs.

A choral reading of the “Thirteen Moons” poetry collection sets the stage for a conversation with Peters and other Indigenous artists. Topics considered include humans’ relationship with the natural world, the meaning of “home” from a Native perspective, and the contributions of Indigenous voices to justice and democracy building today.

Performers: Lynette Perdiz, Lee Mixashawn Rozie, Mwalim "Daphunkee Professor", Mar Parrilla, and Robert Peters

The Thirteen Moons calendars are now out of print, but you can still check out the website here.

You can also purchase lovely huge prints of some of his paintings at the Tomaquag Museum, as well as magnets featuring his colored pencil work.

Watch a video of him discussing his big baby Maushop art series with Nantucket Film Fest in 2022 here.
