The marke of Tasomockon (Tuspaquin)

Wampanoag. Their homelands at Nemasket and Assawompset (in the areas today called “Middleboro” and “Lakeville, Massachusetts”).Their mark appearing here on a document dated 1651, and signed also by Ousamequin, the Massasoit, and Ousamequin’s son, Wamsutta (later also called Alexander). 

Tuspaquin’s kin: son of Pamontaquask.  A partner, Amie (daughter of Ousamequin), their sons, Benjamin and Wiliam Tuspaquin. 

This is our second post on Tuspaquin, whose mark is different across the two documents (dated 1651 and 1664) we’ve so far explored.

Seen at Massachusetts State Archives.

🌟 Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day! 🌾

Today, we celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Native American peoples. 🌄 It's a day to honor the resilience and beauty of the indigenous communities that have shaped and continue to enrich our nation. 🌿

Let's take a moment to acknowledge the wisdom, artistry, and deep connection to the land that indigenous people carry with them. 🏞️

As we commemorate this day, let's also recognize the importance of land rights, the preservation of traditions, and the ongoing struggles faced by many indigenous communities. 🌎

New Patreon Episode: Far From Home American Indian Boarding School Stories This LIMITED time exhibit gives nuance to the dark & traumatic history of off reservation federal boarding school for Native American youth, & allows native voices to speak to their personal and familial experiences. Children were forced to attend the schools to "assimilate" into "American" culture and society beginning in the 1879. Forced attendance ended after the 1930s but the last boarding school did not close until the 1980s. Exhibit ends March 18, 2023.

Polyamory in 1908

I'm reading an autobiography by "two single ladies" who lived together and shared a bed for their entire adult lives (over five decades). They went to live in a part Northern California where there were few white people. There, they wore "split skirts" and made friends with a local indigenous family (Klamath tribe) that had a wife and two husbands. They observed:

"Of course, if Mart and Essie and Les are all satisfied, it really does seem as though it were their own personal concern. On the other hand, two husbands at the same time would scarcely be tolerated in most white communities." The book is "In the Land of the Grasshopper Song: Two Women in the Klamath River Indian Country in 1908-1909" by Mary Ellicott Arnold and Mabel Reed

‘Twas ironic reading this book next to a Christian missionary student on my flight who had just completed a mission trip on the Navajo Nation and was heading back up to his NE American home and Christian schooling, not fully comprehending that similar groups in similar locations are a huge part of the reason Natives have been suffering in the first place. #epigraph #epigraphsofig #bookstagram #nativehistory #daughters (at Somewere in the Sky) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdSnUoAuSNA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

❤️ I look to the South and in prayer I offer tobacco down for the abundance and unconditional love blessed to us from Mother Earth. I look to the West and in prayer I burn my cedar and with the smoke I smudge myself to be cleansed waiting for my Ancestors to talk to my heart travelling on the winds.

•The life of John Horse structures the trail narrative and stands as the consummate expression of the Black Seminoles' nineteenth-century odyssey. •Though not widely known, this black pioneer's life forms one of the most heroic chapters of frontier America -- an Homeric hymn to the ideals, injustice, and complexities of the American experiment. Via Seminole Nation Museum #Black #Seminoles, also called #SeminoleMaroons or #SeminoleFreedmen, a group of free blacks and runaway slaves (#maroons) that joined forces with the Seminole Indians in Florida from approximately 1700 through the 1850s. The #BlackSeminoles were celebrated for their bravery and tenacity during the three Seminole Wars. Via Encyclopedia Britannica •Born in Spanish Florida in 1812 of allegedly mixed #African and #Indian ancestry, John Horse rose to prominence during the Second #SeminoleWar (1835-1842). Several times during the conflict, his daring exploits sparked new life into the allied #Seminole resistance. By 1837, he led the black portion of the uprising in the climactic Battle of Lake Okeechobee. More than any other leader, his actions helped produce the promise of freedom that the U.S. Army extended to black rebels to close out their portion of the war. •For forty years after the rebellion, #JohnHorse led his followers in #Oklahoma, #Texas, and #Mexico as they overcame slave raiders, corrupt politicians, and hostile Native Americans in their pursuit of a free homeland. •Out west, with strong ties to both the Army and the Seminole tribal leadership, John Horse could have pursued security for himself and his family. Instead, he chose to pursue the wider good of his community. This course of action nearly got him killed on several occasions, but it ultimately allowed him to contribute to the lives of all Americans by advancing the cause of national freedom. •Not only did John Horse's actions save hundreds of lives from slavery, but his leadership, albeit anonymously, inspired the country's leading #abolitionists.

#Repost @seedingsovereignty ・・・ In light of the second week of #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth we wanted to call attention to something that we’ve seen an embarrassing amount of lately: anti-blackness. If y’all believe Native American heritage isn’t intrinsically linked to the legacy of Blackness on Turtle Island, this is not the place for you. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ We are pained every time we see an ignorant remark made in one of our spaces, but are particularly hurt by the unabashed prejudice that comes from folks we know as fam. Race has consistently been used by colonizers as a legal marker to legally mark someone as “other” to justify the treatment they receive because of their “other” marking. Watching members of our community be anti-Black is retraumatizing because SOME OF Y’ALL ACT LIKE WE WEREN’T MARKED TOO! 
Behaving like we haven’t welcomed Black relations into our communities/tribes/families/ceremonies, etc., or forgetting that we have in turn been welcomed/housed/fed, or the history of our children being protected from instances of forced relocation — is shameful. Our communities are and desperately need to be in kinship and reciprocity with one another. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ This is a loving but firm reminder (*as shared by our sib/educator @lareenolastname) that Black relatives are not settlers. Having the agency to settle and being violently displaced are two different things. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ We encourage you to think about how you’re honoring not only Indigenous peoples this month, but also and especially — how you are honoring people of the African diaspora through your thoughts, speech, and actions. This month exists for us to educate, and in our opinion, be educated about the needs of our community and we implore you to see anti-Blackness as an issue that needs to be addressed in order for us all to be liberated. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ #seedingsovereignty #liberation #nativehistory #blackindigenous #liberation #community #kinship #decolonizeyourmind #decolonizing #antiblackness https://www.instagram.com/p/B467PvPAO1h/?igshid=8u71cdr2yknf
