Tens of thousands of federal job cuts, on-again, off-again tariffs on everyday goods, and policies affecting the operations of schools, businesses, and tribal governments are generating widespread uncertainty. Tribal leaders are working proactively to both influence decisions at the federal level and to prepare for inevitable changes. We'll talk with tribal leaders about how they are adapting to the unpredictable and dramatic changes headed their way.

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.

Scientists and Aquinnah Wampanoag tribal officials think a small population of striped bass could be defying their migratory nature. And that, in turn, could be impeding efforts to restore a second fish species: herring.

Send us a Text Message.I remember the pilgrim hats, the buckles on the shoes, the feather headdresses and beads, the fun, cutesy crafts we did in school. The smell of construction paper and tempera paint as we stamped out handprint turkeys, glued on brightly colored feathers. You dress like a pilgrim. You be an Indian. We'll all sit down and have a feast together. I remember learning about the first Thanksgiving in school. I remember teachers talking about a day of peace. A day that colonists and natives came together to give thanks, to share a meal. A day they put aside their differences and got along, loved one another. How inspiring. But what they failed to tell us in school is that that peace didn't last. Within a generation, indigenous populations, already decimated by more than 90% thanks to disease, were subjected to oppression, conquest, and all out extermination by European invaders. What they don't tell you in school is that, soon after that fateful feast, descendants of those present at the first Thanksgiving went to war - a war that, in terms of population, became the bloodiest conflict in American history. They don't tell you that in school. Let's fix that.

What do ghosts, witches, Bigfoot, bad luck, giant animals, UFOs, orbs, zombies, cults, and crime have in common? According to our guest, and Dark Woods author, Chris Balzano, they all reside in the Freetown State Forest. And according to the Wampanoag Tribe, they are intricately connected to tiny, magical monster people called ''Pukwudgies.'' Christoper Balzano is a paranormal investigator and folklorist who doesn't just collect stories but is given actual cases to investigate from the police. What is going on here? Jeff and Jer consider the possibilities in new, broad, abstract ways. Also, Jer gets Jeff to say the word ''Pukwudgie.'' And finally, Jeff admits that his home may have been visited by a creature like this if not the very being itself! (And, as you by now expect from evidence of the paranormal, he has photos that support what he's saying yet prove nothing.) [originally aired: 04.21.2011]
For over 10,000 years, members of the Wampanoag tribe have lived in Aquinnah and throughout the island known as Noepe, also known as Martha's Vineyard. Traditionally a fishing and agriculture community, tribe members also harvest acres of wild cranberry bogs each year that grow on their land. Cranberry Day — the annual harvesting of the fruit — has been a centuries-long celebration passed down by the elders as part of the Aquinnah Wampanoag's rich history. "I would say it's probably my favorite holiday, and so I was shaped by that," Jannette Vanderhoop, member of the Wampanoag Tribe of Aquinnah, told GBH's Under the Radar. "If someone came by and there wasn't enough food, everyone just got a little less. And I thought that was really beautiful and indicative of our community and how we take care of each other." The treasured tradition serves as a way to commemorate Indigenous People's Day, says Jordan Clark, assistant director of Harvard University's Native American Program. "When you think about Massachusetts, when you think about the areas around Boston and the Cape and the Islands, Native people have been living on it for tens of thousands of years," Clark said. "Oftentimes a lot of the founding ideology, a lot of the founding philosophy that we think of as 'American,' is often directly taken from Native communities. But again, that's not part of our national narrative. And so, Indigenous People's Day plays a role in taking a pause and asking, kind of, the larger community to maybe refocus and recenter and reimagine kind of how they see the world and their relationship to it." GUESTS Jannette Vanderhoop, member of the Wampanoag Tribe of Aquinnah, board member of the Aquinnah Cultural Center and author of "Cranberry Day: A Wampanoag Harvest Celebration" Jordan Clark, assistant director of Harvard University's Native American Program, and a member of the Wampanoag Tribe of Aquinnah
Our mistreated Native American Brothers and Sisters continue to fight to be able to thrive in the present day. Special Guest Talia Landry of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, discusses the legal battle they have had to face, simply to be able to make progress on their own land. We also hear about some of the unknown history surrounding the Wampanoag, who are the Tribe from THE FIRST THANKSGIVING, how that played out and what it meant for the tribal population of the time. The facts of the matter are that the colonizers came, destroyed, stole and now have ravaged what was never theirs to take. If America does not have it in their hearts to look to those groups to whom it owes most, then does America have a heart? With Thanksgiving upon us once again, let's take an hour together to listen and learn with some vibes of True Attention, about the problems our Native Americans are facing today, about Land In Trust, about The Audacity some Americans have, the judicial system, and bout the history and ACTUAL legacy of The Very First Thanksgiving. Let the Truth Be Told.

In Autumn of 1621, a group of Pilgrims from the Mayflower voyage and Wampanoag men, led by their sachem Massasoit, ate a feast together. The existence of that meal, which held little importance to either the Pilgrims or the Wampanoag, is the basis of the Thanksgiving myth. The myth, re-told in school Thanksgiving pageants and TV shows, is not accurate and is harmful to Native people, especially to the Wampanoag. In 1970, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts planned a banquet to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims. They asked an Aquinnah Wampanoag man, Frank James, also known as Wamsutta, to speak at the banquet. However, when they learned what he was planning to say, the true history, they forbade his speech. Frank James would not give a speech that they rewrote, and instead he planned the first National Day of Mourning on Cole's Hill in Plymouth. Fifty one years later the United American Indians of New England still meet at noon on Cole's Hill on the US Thanksgiving Holiday to remember the genocide of Native people and the theft of Native lands and erasure of Native culture. Joining me to help us learn more about the Wampanoag and the dangers of the Thanksgiving myth is Kisha James, enrolled Aquinnah Wampanoag, one of the organizers of the National Day of Mourning, and granddaughter of Frank James.

Tonight on the Last Word: A federal judge rebukes Bill Barr for misleading Congress and the public about evidence in the Mueller report. Also, top Republicans refuse to denounce Trump’s election lies. Plus, the majority of voters support raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations to pay for President Biden’s infrastructure plans. And Samantha Maltais talks to Lawrence about being the first member of the Wampanoag Tribe to attend Harvard Law School. Neal Katyal, Rep, Joe Neguse and Rep. Katie Porter also join Lawrence O’Donnell.
The native tribes of contemporary Massachusetts and Rhode Island had organized societies and complex geo-political relationships at the dawn of English Colonialism. The arrival of the Pilgrims changed the dynamics dramatically. Massasoit, Sachem of the Wampanoag Tribe quickly realized the benefit of friendship with Plymouth Colony. He pledged his loyalty and helped them to get established. He offered the services of Squanto and Hobomock to make sure they learned the necessary skills to survive in their new land. History remembers Squanto. It has been kind to him. History has largely forgotten the contributions of Massasoit and his very faithful servant, Hobomock. As we more closely consider the events of those early years at Plymouth we may find that the popular, romanticized image of a friendly and humble Squanto may be just that, a popular, romanticized image. What was the tension that existed between Squanto and Massasoit? Why was Squanto such a thorn in the side of his own sachem? What role did Hobomock play at Plymouth? Why has history been so kind to Squanto and neglectful, dismissive of Massasoit and Hobomock? In this episode we attempt to work through these questions as we explore the events surrounding Squanto's service at Plymouth. It was a service that divided tribes and people alike. It divided Massasoit and the Pilgrims. The narrative reads like a cheap dime store novel with all the imagery of a big budget Hollywood movie. It's a fascinating tale that you won't soon forget.

Deconstructing America's History of GenocideThis special podcast episode features a panel conversation hosted on November 20th by Reclaim Collaborative in collaboration with ESJ and Art of Citizenry as part of Reclaim Black Friday, a campaign calling on brands to redistribute a percentage of their sales to Indigenous and Black land-based organizations instead of running sales during Black Friday weekend.A Deeper Look into Indigenous + Black ErasureWhen having conversations about Thanksgiving, it is important to acknowledge the first people to encounter the Pilgrims, the Wampanoag Tribe. It is unfortunate that while most of us know so much about the Pilgrims’ journey because of the way we have been taught history, most of us don’t know the name of the community that was first colonized in what is now known as the United States of America. This is one simple example of how Indigenous people, or Native Americans, have experienced centuries of dehumanization, genocide, and erasure.“Land back is rooted in this idea of literally getting to stewardship and restoring that ancestral relationship with the land, and letting Black and Native people lead that conversation around that movement.”- Charlie Amáyá ScottAddressing histories of exploitation takes deconstructing the systems we operate in. One simple step we can each take is acknowledge the people on whose land we reside.“My family has always taken it as a day of resistance and resilience. It's been much more from an aspect of this is what we do traditionally, as Diné people, which is coming together and celebrating each other.”- Emma Robbins on ThanksgivingThis year marks 400 years since the Mayflower arrived on Plymouth Rock. We must critically analyze the story we have been told and by who. It is time we deconstruct, rethink, and rebuild a more just future. Reclaim Black Friday is a campaign focused on redistributing to Indigenous and Black land-based organizations because it is important to acknowledge the original stewards of this land and return it to those who have historically cultivated regenerative and healing relationships with the Earth.“Reparations as a whole isn’t just a racial justice issue, it’s also a climate justice issue.”- Kai RameyIt is important to hold space for reclaiming and healing, recognizing the trauma and genocide that is widely celebrated through what has been painted as an endearing holiday of gratitude. Black Americans, descendants of American Chattel Slavery, were taken captive and brought here to America for textile and agricultural work—building the wealth of this country. The dehumanization, exploitation, and abuse that Black people have had to endure for centuries continues today as Black Americans still face injustices and inequities in most spaces.“As a Black person, or as an Indigenous person, we're always in the position where we're having to do the work to undo the things that we never had any part in to begin with.“- Katie PruettDespite directly contributing to the wealth of this country, when enslaved Black Americans were freed, they did not receive reparations. Today, Black Americans collectively experience one of the highest poverty rates of any group in the United States. Our acknowledgement of this horrific truth and examination of how we can provide support without causing further damage, is a necessary step if we are to be part of creating real systemic change.How can non-Black + non-Indigenous people help dismantle the systems we operate within without falling into the trap of white saviorism?Redistributing wealth is a small way we can give back the stolen wealth and land we have all benefited from. It is by no means the only way nor is it a panacea. White individuals in America have directly and indirectly contributed to harmful cycles of exploitation by the nature of this country’s history. It is therefore, the responsibility of white and white passing individuals to help dismantle the systems that cause harm.There is a lot of power that white folks do have in the world we live in today, but I think it’s more important to cede power in very silent ways and by that I mean not taking up space.- Kai RameySo what is white saviorism?It’s a little bit of guilt and a little bit of “Hey, look at what I’m doing. I’m doing good, but I want you to know I’m doing good.” But let me tell you something -- when you’re really about that life and you really are here for change, you don’t get to donate $10 here and there. You have to give up some power and some wealth and you get to be uncomfortable and you get to feel how we’ve been feeling for centuries.”- Katie PruettReclaim Black FridayThanksgiving is steeped in America’s history of genocide and theft from Indigenous people. The weekend of frenzied consumerism that follows further contributes to issues of racism and classism in this country. Reclaim Black Friday is dedicated to amplifying the work and voices of Indigenous and Black leaders, and a call to action for redistributing wealth to those who have suffered the most because of historic and continual exploitation in America.Join Reclaim Collaborative November 27th - 30th for Reclaim Black Friday, a campaign calling on businesses to not offer discounts, and instead redistribute a percentage of total sales to Black and Indigenous led land-based organizations.

Celebrating 400 years of the Mayflower's landing on the shores of America is cause for celebration. To think all that has been accomplished these past 400 years. We have much to be grateful for. Please find in our show note on LocaFood.wine the short video of the Wampanoag Tribe entiteld, We Are Still Here. The tradition of fall harvest feasts actually were a native American tradition that we took from them... and eventually renamed Thanksgiving. And with that, I turn to our feature interview for this month's podcast: the author of Pancakes in Paris and the sequel, Let Them Eat Pancakes. Craig Carlson is a Parisian who opened the beloved Breakfast In America restaurants decades ago in Paris. When you Oh-So-Need a big breakfast of thick buttermilk pancakes drenched in maple syrup and melted butter this is where you go. And in the winters, they offer the bottomless cup of coffee and a slice of pie in the late afternoons. Craig and his partner, Julien Chameroy, speak to us this episode about his books and about being the most famous American pancake purveyor in Paris.
It’s Thanksgiving on 26 November, so this week, we look at the myths behind this American holiday, and particularly the story of the Mayflower, the ship that landed in Plymouth Bay, Massachusetts, 400 years ago. We talk to Jo Loosemore, the curator of the exhibition Mayflower 400: Legend and Legacy at The Box in Plymouth, about the voyage, the settlement and decolonising the story. And then we get the in-depth perspective of Steven Peters, the co-founder of the creative agency Smoke Sygnals and a member of the Wompanoag nation, the native inhabitants of the region around Plymouth Colony, who along with other tribes, had lived there for 10,000 years before the Europeans arrived. Steven curated the exhibition Our Story: The Early Days of the Wampanoag Tribe and the Pilgrims Who Followed at the Provincetown Museum in Massachusetts.

On this episode of The Critical Hour, Dr. Wilmer Leon is joined by Cedric Cromwell, Chairman of Maspee-Wampanoag Tribal Council; and Jay Winter Nightwolf, host of Nightwolf—The Most Dangerous Show on Radio on WPFW 89.3 and brings an American Indian perspective to global issues. Thursday was celebrated by most Americans as Thanksgiving. Pilgrims and Puritans who emigrated from England in the 1620s and 1630s carried the tradition of Days of Fasting and Days of Thanksgiving with them to New England. The common narrative is that this holiday commemorates the cooperative relationship between the Native Americans, primarily the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head, Massachusetts and the Pilgrims. As with most narratives and histories told by invading or concurring forces, there's another side to the story. How does the mistold story of "Thanksgiving" add to the elitist and 'American exceptionalism' mentality that exists today? Why is this called the National Day of Mourning for some?Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. directed a rare and pointed shot at President Trump today, defending the federal judiciary in the wake of Trump's criticism of an “Obama judge”. “We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” Roberts said in a statement released by the court's public information office. “What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them.”Delivered on the eve of Thanksgiving, Roberts added: “That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.” Shermichael, your thoughts on what this says about the president's view of the judiciary and Chief Justice Robert's reply.President Trump has conceded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman "could very well" have known about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. But he's still not going to punish Saudi Arabia's government for it. The CIA has “high confidence” in its findings that MBS directed Khashoggi's murder, and Trump was expected to receive a full CIA briefing today. Still, the president signaled in a statement earlier today that no matter what the CIA tells him, he still won't take retaliatory action against the Saudi government. What does this indicate?A modest first step in restoring full-fledged negotiations between Kabul and the Taliban.” This was how senior Russian senior diplomat Zamir Kabulov defined the landmark conference in Moscow last week, which aimed to find a resolution to the long-running Afghan conflict. This was not widely covered in US mainstream media as far as I can discern. What does this mean?

What do ghosts, witches, Bigfoot, bad luck, giant animals, UFOs, orbs, zombies, cults, and crime have in common? According to our guest, and Dark Woods author, Chris Balzano, they all reside in the Freetown State Forest. And according to the Wampanoag Tribe, they are intricately connected to tiny, magical monster people called ''Pukwudgies.''Christoper Balzano is a paranormal investigator and folklorist who doesn't just collect stories but is given actual cases to investigate... from the police! What is going on here? Jeff and Jer consider the possibilities in new broad, abstract ways. Also, Jer gets Jeff to say the word ''Pukwudgie.'' And finally, Jeff admits that his home may have been visited by a creature like this if not the very thing itself! (And, as you by now expect from evidence of the paranormal, he has photos that prove nothing but support what he's saying.)
