This text set focuses specifically on the Wampanoag Nation. It begins with a collection of counterstories of early colonization, challenging the interpretation of relations between European settlers and the Wampanoag Nation that is often taught in New England schools, before moving forward to texts that relate to the Wampanoag Nation today, focusing specifically on language reclamation, debates over land and naming, and oral histories and ceremonies. As a whole, the text set aims to challenge the myth of the “vanishing Indian” and illustrate the many ways that the Wampanoag Nation continues to survive in New England today.
