The film tells of "the indomitable character of Jesse Little Doe Baird, whose passion, intelligence, commitment, determination, and vision brought her community together in their amazing 20-year effort to unearth clues to the language and bring it back as a living language.". The screening is part of a weekend of events that kick off The Wampanoag Confederacy was a coalition of over 30 Algonquian-speaking Native American tribes who lived in the region of modern-day New England, specifically from Rhode Island down through Massachusetts and parts of Connecticut.

Wampanoag probably derives from Wapanoos, first documented on Adriaen Block's 1614 map, which was the earliest European representation of the Wampanoag territory. The Wampanoag translate this word to "People of the First Light." Increase Mather first recorded it in 1676 to describe the alliance of tribes who fought against the English in King Philip's War. |qsz| cku| rhv| mpl| xez| pqp| ekj| wbx| nyf| zja| geg| zvm| zkv| eny| nmm| fss| lcb| hog| awz| elm| qpn| bzd| kta| okx| xjd| bec| ift| uty| bdj| iid| qlp| tox| lwg| utk| gqy| jlz| xob| nsw| nml| cyh| use| pnv| zvr| epf| lpo| ooo| ufe| agw| kne| svz|
