  • We Are Still Here explores 400 years of Wampanoag history and how the arrival of European colonists would forever change their way of life.
    While the Native American tribe on the east coast of America would form an uneasy alliance with Pilgrims upon their arrival, the growth of the Plymouth colony and surrounding settlements eventually led to the devastating King Philip’s War.
    This video explores the Wampanoag story and how in 2020, the Nation’s people are very much still here as an integral part of the 400th anniversary commemorations of the Mayflower’s sailing on both sides of the Atlantic.

    It is Thanksgiving 2023. I recently learned my people (Basset) came here on The Fortune, next ship after Mayflower, and if the history books are right, my people were helped and guided by your people. You taught us how to plant, fish, prepare for and survive winter...and contributed gigantic lessons leading to our survival. the Bible tells about 10 lepers God cured, only 1 came back to thank him. I have no idea how many of the members of the Mayflower or The Fortune ever came back to Thank you.....but I am here to say it loud and clear.....THANK YOU for all you did for us as a country, a nation, a people over the last 400 years...we are grateful in every way for all you did.....grateful old bill

    Great history here. Much respect to the Wampanoags who today have voting power. Try to vote in the Wampanoag best interests as the interests of the country are only for the wealthy. I hope there was a great ceremony for the new Wampum belt. Use each Thanksgiving holiday to tell the story and spread the culture. The worst thing the Native Americans of the west did was try to hide their culture and it withered away. Keep growing and keep spreading!

    I live on a Wampanoag burial ground in Berkley, MA. There was a dig maybe 40-50 years ago (bear creek dig?) which found hundreds of thousands of arrowheads, dugout-type homes and Wampanoag princess (correct term?) who was placed at the Attleboro historical society. Recently she was reburied in the back yard in at least the same vicinity as her original burial. My 9x great grandfather, also one of the main founders of my town, was scalped and killed by a war party during the king Phillip war. There’s a neat _little_ story that’s been passed down through the generations as to why he decided to go back home after having made it to the safety of the fort in Taunton.

      @@LisaDaigle I’ve found some really amazing artifacts, even having some dated - one stone bowl I found likely dates back 8-12,000 years ago, the first humans to live in the area. It seemed crazy until I learned about the Boats Site over by Sweets Knoll just across the river from me.
      Ironically, the story about _why_ my ancestor died (which was him being sent home by his wife to retrieve a “cheese hoop”) was passed down orally for close to 300 years until it was finally written and punished in the early 1900’s. It does make me sad to think about the manner in which my land was obtained by the man my ancestor purchased it from, but I feel like the best thing I can do is continue to explore the areas I can and share the history I find with those who’s ancestors were effected.

    I appreciate that....

    I am so happy that so many descendentes of native people who populated what is now known as the American continent are still thriving and alive. My wish is that some day, we find what the original name of this land was and restore that name as a tribute to the original inhabitants. South America was ABYA YALA.

    Great video and thoughts here. Couple takeaways:
    1. The Pilgrims were different than the other English settlers; they were peaceful. The Pilgrims were running from there European homes as refugees seeking freedom from persecution! Maybe that's an additional reason why they got a long with the Indians as well.
    2. Although I have native ancestry, I take the Pilgrims view on how everything happened providentially.

    I think Thanksgiving is horrible and I do not acknowledge it. Not only does it not reflect any appreciation or true history but it turned into a holiday of gluttony. Futhermore it's a senseless mass killing of birds, and people refer to the holiday as gobble, gobble day. Anytime anyone wishes me a "turkey day" I correct them immediately. Please keep the awareness of reality firmly in action.
