The Wampanoag people are the original inhabitants of the land where the Pilgrims arrived in 1620. Their rich history includes a deep connection to the land they inhabited, primarily in present-day Massachusetts and Rhode Island. As expert farmers, hunters, and fishers, the Wampanoag cultivated crops like corn, beans, and squash, while also engaging in hunting and fishing activities. They lived in dome-shaped homes called wetus, which were built using strong wooden frames and covered with natural materials. Wampanoag children were integral to family life, learning skills through observation, play, and community tasks. They engaged in seasonal activities that contributed to their family's well-being. This resource highlights their way of life, community structures, and enduring cultural legacy.
