Since President Abraham Lincoln established observing the Thanksgiving Day holiday in 1863 to heal a fractured country amid the American Civil War (1861-1865). Consequentially, Americans for generations have believed in and centralized their national identity within several mythologies, including the propaganda surrounding the purported first thanksgiving between the Wampanoags and the pilgrims. Today on American Indian Airwaves, our guest from the Aquinnah Wampanoag nation joins us for the entire hour to discuss in-depth the origins of the Thanksgiving Day Holiday, the settler colonial perpetrators of violence and fabrication regarding this mythology that traces back to 1620s, the National Day of Mourning, the censorship of Frank “Wamsutta” Jame's speech in 1970 for the 350th Anniversary of the Mayflower's landing, who are the Wampanoag peoples along with their cultural and traditional practices, and more. Guest: o Linda Coombs (Aquinnah Wampanoag) is an author and historian from the Wampanoag Tribe of Aquinnah, and lives in the Wampanoag community of Mashpee on Cape Cod, MA. In addition, our guest worked for over 30 years in the Wampanoag Indigenous Program (WIP) of Plimoth Plantation, including 15 years as the WIP's Associate Director; and worked 9 years at the Aquinnah Cultural Center. She is the recent author of the remarkable book: Colonization and the Wampanoag Story (2023) Archived AIA programs are on Soundcloud at: https://soundcloud.com/burntswamp American Indian Airwaves streams on over ten podcasting platforms such as Amazon Music, Apple Podcast, Audible, Backtracks.fm, Gaana, Google Podcast, Fyyd, iHeart Media, Mixcloud, Player.fm, Podbay.fm, Podcast Republic, SoundCloud, Spotify, Tunein, YouTube, and more.

On November 11, 1620, forty-one men aboard the ship the Mayflower signed a document of great importance. With their signatures they vowed to create fair and just laws and to work together for the good of the Plymouth colony. This document, the Mayflower Compact, was the first to outline self-governance in the so called “New World” and it would go on to serve as a foundation for both the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. Our government was practically built upon the Mayflower Compact signed by those men. But not all of them would uphold the vows they made that day. One in particular, John Billington, would go so far against them as to become the first convicted murderer in American history. In the words of Governor William Bradford “He is a knave, and so will live and die.” But it wasn't just John Sr., his whole family wreaked havoc on the colony, prompting Bradford to call them “one of the profanest families amongst them.” Join me this week to learn more about John Billington, the murderer on the Mayflower.Support the show! Join the PatreonBuy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaineSources: "History of Plimoth Plantation" by William Bradford (1630)"Mourt's Relation: A Journal of the Pilgrims at Plymouth" by Edward Winslow (1622)Mayflower 400 "The Mayflower Story"New England Historical Society "John Billington Gets Lost"History.com "Who Was the First Convicted Murderer in America"The Mayflower Society "The Billington Family"Mayflower 400 "America's first murderer was executed for killing fellow Plymouth settler"Wikipedia "John Billington"Shoot me a message!

Mike Winther continues his discussion on Biblical Principles of Government. This episode will focus on history, but he begins the lecture by highlighting two key solutions to our problems: the political solution and the educational solution. All of our efforts to change the world can be divided into these two categories. We either try to change society politically or through education. Unfortunately, we often concentrate all our efforts on the political solution, when focusing on education is the real answer. Spending just one-tenth of what is spent on political campaigns on biblical education could significantly influence the outlooks of future generations. Mike also emphasizes the importance of reading physical books, underlining, and bookmarking the best passages. Mike kicks off the history portion by breaking down the etymology of the word "history." He discusses how history is important to God and uses the Bible as an example. Mike then explores the six philosophical views of history that shape how people perceive it. We learn that history is the study of the consequences of ideas. Mike strives to make history interesting and ties it back to the Biblical Principles we cherish. You'll Learn: [01:02] The political and educational solutions to our problems. We either try to change society politically or through education. [01:41] Sometimes we get our focus wrong and put all of our effort on the political solution and neglect education. [05:32] If we spent 1/10 of what is spent on political campaigns on education and teaching High School students this course, it would change society. [12:16] Mike talks about the importance of reading and how we all need to be readers. [16:06] History and the etymology of the word. His story or the working out of God's story. [19:15] History is important to God. Just try to find a book in the Bible that isn't about history. [19:44] Psalm 78 and Joshua 4 and Judges 5 and the New Testament. [22:23] Mike talks about the six philosophical views of history that frame how people view history. [23:15] The state of society, good or bad. Early time and later time. This charts the views of History. [23:46] 1. The random view of History. Things are sometimes better and sometimes worse. [24:13] 2. The pendulum view of History where we swing from one extreme to another. [24:51] 3. The evolutionary progress view. This is where everything evolves over time and gets better. [25:39] The first three views of history are atheist or agnostic. The next three are compatible with Christianity. [25:41] He also talks about what all Christians agree on. [27:13] 4. The pessimistic view. Things get worse and worse until the second coming. [27:46] 5. The neutral view. We're not getting more or less righteous, things just vacillate back and forth. [28:08] 6. The optimistic view. Over time, the church has more influence, and the level of righteousness improves. [28:46] Psalm 110 [36:37] History is simply the study of the consequences of ideas. It gets exciting when you think about the stuff that really happened. [37:48] The Magna Carta was the first time a king was seriously challenged. [38:36] The Great Charter was the start of a multi-millennial challenge to the power of the king. [39:46] Mike shares the history before the landing of the Mayflower. [40:30] The Gutenberg Bible gave more people access to read God's word.  [42:28] Separatists were people who were tired of the Church of England and were separating. The Puritans were trying to purify and solve all the flaws. [43:11] The pilgrims lived in Holland before they came to Plymouth. John Robinson preached all of God's words.  [44:14] The number one reason they left Holland was because their children were too influenced by the secular nature of Holland. The fifth reason was to evangelize the natives of North America. [48:20] The Mayflower Compact. The first constitution in the US. [51:51] The providential view of history says that Providence or God intervenes in history. [56:24] The pilgrims didn't have enough crops to sustain themselves. [01:00:35] The first experiment in socialism was a failure. Once it was abandoned they had more food than they could use.

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For and this Toe Tag. I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is normally a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you at the heart of mystery, murder, and mayhem. Today is a bonus episode we call a Toe Tag. What's a Toe Tag? It is the first chapter from a fresh release in the mystery, crime, and thriller genre. Today's featured release is Wolf Bog, a Berkshire Hilltown Mystery by Leslie Wheeler. Wolf Bog was released July 6, 2022 from Encircle Publications and is available from https://www.amazon.com/Wolf-Bog-Berkshire-Hilltown-Mystery/dp/164599385X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=FOSMMCX6XI3C&keywords=leslie+wheeler&qid=1656380000&s=books&sprefix=leslie+wheeler%2Cstripbooks%2C137&sr=1-1 (Amazon) and other book retailers. About Leslie Wheeler. An award-winning author of books about American history and biographies, Leslie Wheeler turned to mystery writing to give herself the freedom to make things up. While she still salts her mysteries with actual history, she now offers an exciting story in the present. Her Miranda Lewis Living History Mystery series debuted with Murder at Plimoth Plantation, set at the living history museum and re-released as a trade paperback from Encircle Publishing. Other series titles are: Murder at Gettysburg, set at a re-enactment of the famous battle, and Murder at Spouters Point, set at a fictionalized Mystic Seaport. Find her at https://www.lesliewheeler.com/ (https://www.lesliewheeler.com/) From July 1-31, 2022 Wolf Bog is on tour with Partners in Crime. Check out the tour link for more content and information. https://www.partnersincrimetours.net/wolf-bog-by-leslie-wheeler/ (https://www.partnersincrimetours.net/wolf-bog-by-leslie-wheeler/) TG Wolff Review This book is an amateur sleuth story where Katheryn Stinson, a curator of prints and photographs for a small library, is drawn into the mystery of the surfacing body of a local man who went missing forty years prior. Rating: Wolf Bog on a 5-point scale against the “perfect amateur sleuth”, I give this 3.75. Strengths of the story. The story pacing is deliberate, continuously dropping breadcrumbs as the book winds through two main storylines. The planning and detailing of the stories were well thought out and executed. The setting of a small town in the Berkshires provides enough detail to “feel” the place without being overly descriptive. The characters are very likeable and can easily become the type of friends you want to return to story after story. They are continuing from previous books, which I have not read. Wheeler did an excellent job of providing enough context for me to understand the relationships without providing synopses of prior books. This book is well written and free of errors. Where the story fell short of the ideal. Wheeler created an interesting but challenging story with part rooted in a past 40-years old and part rooted in the present. To meet the ideal, the elements of the story had to have strong logic in character behavior in both time periods. When you get to the end and look back over the entirety of the story, do the actions of all the players (not just the hero) hold up? Wheeler did such a good job covering up the original crime, there was little to work in modern time. As a result, Katheryn's role in this story was less of a sleuth and more of a narrator, moving the story along its arc. Bottom line: Wolf Bog is for you if you prefer small town mysteries with likeable characters, deliberate pacing and/or the Berkshire setting.

Our examination of every "backdoor pilot" episode of The Facts of Life continues... because we know what the people want. "Brian and Sylvia" was an odd 1981 attempt at a Facts of Life spinoff series. The premise: Tootie's Aunt Sylvia is a Buffalo TV news anchor, and Brian is her husband, a hockey coach played by pre-MacGyver Richard Dean Anderson. So if you're looking for early 80s mixed-marriage jokes that have not aged particularly well, this sitcom delivers the goods. Our conversation somehow also includes Willona from Good Times, the short-lived Sanford and Son spinoff Grady, a weird Thanksgiving at Plimoth Plantation, suffering through Godspell in junior high, and Tootie's aunt as a space princess on Jason of Star Command.

Hashtag 59's Season 3 Podcast is 50 Episodes long and each episode will provide FIVE outdoor adventures in each of the US's 50 states. We are doing these episodes in ABC Order of the states and episode twenty-one is Massachusetts. The goal is to give you ideas and opportunities to experience outdoor adventure anywhere and everywhere in the United States of America. Here's our list for Massachusetts: 1. Visit the town of Plymouth, MA, the site of the first Pilgrim settlement, founded in 1620. Plymouth Rock, a boulder in Pilgrim Memorial State Park, marks the place where settlers are thought to have landed on shore. Plimoth Plantation is a living history museum dedicated to telling the history of Plymouth Colony from the perspective of both the Pilgrims and the Native Wampanoag people. 2. Take a trip out to the Blue Hills Reservation, a 10-minute car ride from downtown Boston. The Skyline Loop Trail offers three miles of challenging hiking crossing several summits throughout the park. You’ll follow blue blazes on this hike, where you’ll pass highlights like the Eliot Observation Tower, which offers a panoramic view of Boston. 3. Cape Cod Rail Trail. Head down to the Cape for this unique trail. It follows what was once a 22-mile railroad track through Dennis, Harwich, Brewster, Orleans, Eastham and Wellfleet. With the creation of the Old Colony Railroad Company in 1848, this track was originally one of the first ways that connected the once-isolated Cape Cod to Boston. Today, the surface is partly paved for bicyclists and also has an unpaved section ideal for walking, running, and horseback riding. One of the best parts is that you can easily find a beach off of any trail. 4. Continuing the AT tradition! Appalachian Trail in Massachusetts. The Appalachian Trail travels 90 miles in Massachusetts as the trail winds through the Berkshires. The trail passes over the highest point in the state at Mount Greylock with an elevation of 3491 feet. 5. Walk the Freedom Trail in Boston! How do you get lost on it? Hmmmm… 6. Visit the Boston African American Historic Site. Thanks for listening to Season 3 of our podcast featuring all 50 US States and some of each state's unique and hopefully lesser known to you Outdoor Adventures.

Plan a trip about Early American History (and the learning to do at home in the months prior to departure).  Whether your teens/tweens homeschool or whether they attend school, you will learn WHEN to travel, WHAT to learn beforehand, WHERE to go, and HOW to handle multiple ages in your family.  A trip that includes Early American History sites will empower your kids as citizens. MAIN TOPIC:  Listen for ways to learn together before you travel together to Early American History locations.  I’ll share some of my family’s favorite locations (like Colonial Williamsburg and Plimoth Plantation), plus topics to learn about before you go (like the Constitution, slavery, and the Civil War).  Homeschoolers can plan an entire academic year prior to travel, and all families can find the “just right” amount of learning to add in. QUESTION AT THE END:  I share my method to choose where to go, whether it is choosing a trip or whether it is selecting places to see on the trip you’re designing. CHEWY TIDBIT AT THE VERY END: What is the most mentally-nutritionally-dense thing you can do at your house before a trip?  A small thing which is huge?  Listen and find out.

This week I am talking to Wendy Rose Williams. A short while ago we asked for questions for her on the Facebook group and Wendy also put out a request for questions. In this episode we talk about many different aspects of being a Certified Spiritual Teacher. Wendy is a Hypnotherapist and Reiki Master Energy Healer. Certified for Regression Healing and Past-Life Regression(Quantum Healing Centre, United Kingdom) Trained with Dr. Brian Weiss ("Many Lives, Many Masters") Life Between Lives Regression Therapy (Karen Wells) Ordained Minister Wendy had a Near-Death Experience (NDE) in 1997. She met her Angels for the first time while home alone, lying unconscious on the floor with a ruptured aorta. Meeting the soul mate Wendy contracted with to 'wake her up spiritually' led her to Dr. Michael Newton's 'Journey of Souls.' These two events in tandem triggered a rapid and profound spiritual awakening. She experienced stunning physical and emotional breakthroughs from her own past-life regressions and other healing work, including releasing an over forty-year battle with debilitating daily chronic pain and mobility issues. The remarkable difference in Wendy's quality of life that resulted from healing her own past/ parallel lives inspired her to help others release the energy that no longer serves them. Wendy is now an active volunteer with Dog Gone Seattle, a foster-based 501(c)3 dog rescue specializing in saving death-row dogs in the high-kill shelters. She is thrilled to be able to walk, transport, bathe and handle large untrained dogs some of whom weigh 80 lbs. or more. This would not have been possible before the significant healing she experienced via past-life regression. Wendy is an author and has published 'Regression Healing I:: The Huntsman, the Lord High Mayor and the World War II Soldier (Volume 1)' A lifetime athlete and adventurer had broken his neck. Could a comprehensive Past-Life Regression truly heal his significant daily pain? Could he finally learn how to connect easily and meaningfully with his Higher Self and Guides? Witness one man's exploration of more than a dozen of his past lives. Celebrate his journey Home as he becomes “One” with the Light within us all. Learn how finding the origin of physical or emotional pain provides the opportunity to heal and release it for a happier, healthier NOW, via the Regression Healing™ spiritual regression technique. 'The Flow I: Plimoth Plantation (the prequel)'. Why would a ghost choose to remain Earth-bound for hundreds of years? Ann Warren Little vividly depicts her childhood in England; her perilous journey to Colonial America aboard a Mayflower ship; five decades living and loving at Plimoth Plantation; and her shocking death during King Philip's War. Learn why this broken-hearted ghost continually refuses to go Home. Experience Ann's compulsion to find both Ship's Master William Pierce who brought her to the New Colony in 1623 - and her own Future Self - to attempt to bring closure to their clandestine 1600s relationship. Will Ann and William's Future Selves master their shared lessons in present time? Can they convince Ann - a remarkably stubborn ghost - to finally move to the Light to heal? Will Ann forgive William, or once again remain a ghost... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MQUFV1A/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0 www.wendyrosewilliams.com/ To get access to the extended version of this episode go to Patreon and sign up to the $5 tier. www.patreon.com/pastlivespodcast

In the 1950s, something must have been in the water, because all of a sudden, there was a movement afoot to put a replica of the Mayflower in the water. For one man to become obsessed with the idea of rebuilding the Pilgrim's famed ship, to throw all his time and money into that single-minded pursuit, well you could just chalk that up as weird, but weird in the way most things are weird. But for two men born during the last year of World War I to determine, at the same time but from opposite sides of the Atlantic, that in the wake of World War II they would build a Mayflower II come hell or high water… that’s cosmically weird. This is the story of Warwick Charlton, Henry Hornblower II, and the ship they pulled out of the history books and put on the Atlantic.

The Mayflower II is currently undergoing a full-scale restoration at the DuPont Shipyard in Mystic, Connecticut. It’s a replica of the merchant ship that brought the Pilgrims first to Provincetown and then to Plymouth in 1620 - a now-historic event that was completely unremarkable at the time. “This is just cargo. The only good thing about this cargo is it was self-loading cargo,” said Whit Perry, Director of Maritime Preservation at Plimoth Plantation. The original Mayflower was sold for scrap in 1624. Many years later, a man named Warwick Charlton was returning to England after serving in World War Two, and he began reading “Of Plimoth Plantation” by William Bradford, the definitive account of the Pilgrims. “He formed a private company to build this reproduction and give it as a gift of appreciation to America for America’s help during World War Two,” said Perry. There are no surviving plans for the original Mayflower, so historians relied on their general knowledge of vessels from

The Mayflower II is a replica of the original ship that brought more than a hundred settlers from Europe to the New World in 1620.  Built in 1956, she was a gift to the citizens of America from the English as a thank-you for their support during WWII.  Since being delivered in 1957, she has been a focal point at The Plimoth Plantation, welcoming visitors onboard to give them a sense of what life onboard was like.  But after 60 years and 25 million visitors, she was in need of a restoration, and who better to take on the task than the shipwrights at The Mystic Seaport Museum.

Later this week, most of us will sit down to a Thanksgiving meal, just as the Pilgrims’ did after their first year in Plymouth. But Thanksgiving as we know it today is much different from the one the Pilgrims celebrated almost 400 years ago. Plimoth Plantation offers living history re-creations of that period in American history. One of their missions is to educate visitors about how the first Thanksgiving really happened. “For one thing, the first Thanksgiving was three days long,” said Kathleen Wall, a Foodways Associate at Plimoth Plantation. And it most likely occurred in late September or early October. The day that came to be known as Thanksgiving didn’t become a national holiday until 1863, under President Abraham Lincoln. “The Pilgrims are actually an afterthought,” said Wall. “First, there’s Thanksgiving to celebrate the nation together. And remember, Abraham Lincoln is President during the Civil War, so the nation is not together. And this becomes in some ways a northern

We have more choices for our Thanksgiving meal than the Pilgrims could have dreamed of. But did we make the right choice when we decided to breed traits like herbicide resistance into some of our most common crops? And should we have the right to know when we’re buying foods made with genetic engineering? We hear from both sides of the GMO debate. Later, we visit an innovative policing program that changes the relationship between police and people with opioid addiction. Plus, a reporter interviews one (in)famous pilgrim, and a tribe welcomes visitors to a new cultural district on Martha’s Vineyard. Sweet corn that you buy at the farm stand or supermarket in the summer is not genetically modified. But genetically engineered corn is used as an additive in processed foods and included in livestock feed. (Credit: United Soybean Board) Engineered Writer Caitlin Shetterly suffered for years with a series of  puzzling symptoms: constant colds, tingling and numbness, rashes, and all-over pain and weakness. She tried every treatment she could find, with no relief. That's until an allergist recommended she tried eliminating GMO corn from her diet. She managed to do so, and her health improved. That's what set Shetterly off on a journey — interviewing farmers, scientists, and activists — that led to her recent book, Modified: GMOs and the Threat to Our Food, Our Land, Our Future.  It’s difficult for consumers to make informed decisions on the safety of GMOs, because most of the research is either carried out by or funded by companies like Monsanto, which manufacture the modified seeds, says Shetterly. A report published this May from the National Academies of Sciences found GMO foods to be safe. However, the report recommended testing GMO crops for residue from glyphosate, the main ingredient in the herbicide Roundup (which is routinely sprayed on GMO crops, since they are bred to be immune to the weedkiller). The WHO’s cancer agency last year classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic.” This year, though, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation and a different WHO body declared glyphosate “unlikely to pose a carcinogenic risk to humans” through our food. Campbell’s says it wants to be transparent about the GMO ingredients used in its foods, regardless of legal requirements. (Credit: Kathleen Masterson/ VPR) With all of this confusing information, you might want to play it safe by avoiding genetically modified ingredients. Vermont, Connecticut, and Maine all have GMO labeling laws on the books. But federal legislation signed by President Barack Obama in July nullified the state laws. And advocates complain the federal law does not go far enough. To break down the politics and economics of the GMO debate, Vermont Public Radio reporter Kathleen Masterson joins us. Something Totally Different John Rosenthal, left, co-founded the Police Assisted Addiction Recovery program in Gloucester, Mass. Steve Lesnikoski, right, was his first client. (Credit: Kristin Gourlay/ RIPR) “You have to be in this absolute desperate state and just devoid of humanity to really change. And that's where I was. I was dead inside. And I saw this beacon of light all the way across the country, and I was like, why not?” – Steve Lesnikoski, former heroin user The opioid addiction crisis in New England has physicians, community care-givers, and addiction treatment professionals scrambling to respond. Police departments are responding as well. Many have added the overdose rescue drug, Narcan, to their tool belts. Others have stepped up efforts to prosecute heroin dealers. But in Gloucester, Massachusetts, there's a program that flips policing on its head to help addicts find treatment. Rhode Island Public Radio's Kristin Gourlay has the story.

But now people from the tribe and the town of Aquinnah are working together to tell that story — and to boost the local economy — with a new, state-designated cultural district. WBUR reporter Andrea Shea takes us there. Find a text version of Andrea’s report along with photos at WBUR’s ARTery.

A Day in the Life of Plimoth Plantations Hey, it's been a while. I should have gotten this out a few weeks ago but I"ve been running flat out. I think that's a sign of success of some kind. I'm not certain.I'm working on a number of different video projects in various stages of production, doing the video production internship at CDIA and producing another podcast each week, The Post-Movie Podcast. On Monday January 25, from 10:30am to 8:00pm I started and finished a short video of a day in the life of Plimoth Plantation. I believe the real lessons I've gained from this experience are the things the director and I did right. Creating a finished video in one day is not an ideal job by any stretch of the imagination, although I had a lot of fun - you can't approach a project like this without a sense of adventure and a come-what-may attitude. Producing this video does force you to focus on the bare essentials and requires that you be very prepared before you begin. Storyboard or shot list was essential. Script or story also had to be nailed down ahead of time as well. All of that lead to a focused shoot and really really spare coverage. We were constantly moving, dodging the rain, shooting about 8 or 9 locations, none of which I had previously seen. Being mentally prepared and trusting your equipment is also critical. My point is, none of the things I've just mentioned are unusual requirements for any video you need to produce. A situation such as this only demonstrates how critical they are to keep on schedule. The deadline was real because we needed to post it to a TV station's site before midnight in order for it to be considered for inclusion in a future broadcast of a Boston show, Chronicle. On Thursday February 18 Chronicle did a best of submissions from January 25 and I was told, thought I didn't see it firsthand, that this video did show. Good exposure for Plimoth Plantations, I don't know how much bragging rights there is in it for me. But I'm happy. I hope you enjoy it. If you'd like any further information about the production process, let me know. Hey I need some Help! I've got a number of ideas for shows coming up and one of them is figuring out rates for freelance videography. I can tell you information on the web is skimpy and I'm not getting a lot of feedback from the few people I know who are doing this, just generalizations. Could I ask you to email me at videostudentguy.gmail.com with your ideas, or experience you've had pricing jobs? I'd appreciate also if you told me what kind of video is was, such as corporate, non profit, weddings or other social events. Also any anecdotes about difficulties you had justifying your rates. In the current economy I hear that a lot of the suppositions regarding what people are willing to pay has changed drastically from just a year ago. Let me know.
