We Still Live Here: A Film & Conversation With Special Guest Clan Mother Shoran Waupatukuay Piper of the Golden Hill Paugussetts.
Celebrated every Thanksgiving as the Indians who saved the Pilgrims from starvation, and then largely forgotten, the Wampanoag Tribes of Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard are now saying loud and clear, and in their Native tongue, “As Nutayuneân,” We Still Live Here. Spurred on by their celebrated linguist, Jessie Little Doe Baird, winner of a MacArthur "genius” award, the Wampanoag are bringing their language home. Jessie’s daughter Mae is the first Native speaker of Wampanoag in a century.
Presented by the Branford Land Trust.
