\n\;In sea rch of the Native American perspective\, we need to look to Plymouth\, Mas sachusetts where the official first Thanksgiving took place and where toda y the Wampanoag (the rarely mentioned tribe that the pilgrims encountered in 1621) side of the story can be found.
\nThe Wampanoag Culture has been part of the Massachusetts and Rhode Island region for thousands of y ears. During this program\, we will learn how the culture thrived and life was normal before interruption. We will also learn how interruption happe ned and its consequences on the people. This will include disease\, slaver y\, placed on religion\, and war to name a few. With this said there have been many accomplishments made to keep the Wampanoag Culture alive and pro gressive.
\nThese positive actions include the recovery of the langu age\, recovery of Material Culture\, recovery of self-pride\, and many oth er examples. Please join in and enjoy the ride through the centuries in Wa mpanog history.
