Thanks to this, I have started growing corn, beans, and squash. This is the second year, Im using heirloom varieties, and organic methods on those plots.
I have lately taken a massive fascination with the Wampanoag Confederation recently and seeing that you made an episode on them has me damn excited to listen to this.
There was a couple of dugout canoes (mishoons) pulled out of the mud along the Black Brook in Easton, in the 1960s I believe. So the people were using these to navigate inland rivers and streams as well as out in the ocean. One would think lighter watercraft (birch bark canoes, for example) would be used on these smaller tributaries since mishoons are extremely bulky and heavy, but they obviously had their reasons. As a resident of Wampanoag land I find everything about our local tribes history, culture, traditions and day to day life fascinating.
@@Andy_BabbI read about this site and your family in the Mass Archeological Society Bulletin. Great stuff. There’s likely treasure troves of undiscovered artifacts right in that area all along the Taunton River. (I also live in SE Mass though about 20 miles north of your site.)
Thank you for your work Eric - I love your videos and have learned so much from you. Bonus: your voice is pitch perfect and so soothing I could listen to you for hours on end. ❤
Herring fill up most rivers every spring. Across New England there are still millions coming every year, back then it probably would have been CRAZY how many fish filled the rivers. Even if the natives tried to catch every fish they’d never be able to
Just a thought about the fish story. There is a fish called Shad that lives in the ocean and runs upstresm to breed in large numbets along the eastern seaboard in April. Before Europeans arrived in large numbers, these shad runs were pretty heavy. Maybe the fish they used were shad csught in nets in spring as they migrated ???
It’s herring. Every March through May we get millions of herring in the rivers. Back then it would have been ten times as many. No chance in hell the natives could have caught every one.

28:44 my 9x great grandfather was arrested for possessing wampum, only it’s written way fancier lol but I think wampum was also items that were considered illegal

I cant imagine there were no mentions of chestnuts? One mature chestnut tree pre blight could produce thousands of nuts, and was once common across massachusetts, cape cod included. Id also imagine that those large canoes were made of chestnut wood as theyd have been the largest trees... i watched this video hoping to hear about the use of chestnut trees 😂

There was never a tribe or people who called themselves Wampanoags there were many tribes of the pokanoket nation and you don’t start hearing the name Wampanoag until after the king Phillip war when it became illegal to use the term pokanoket by penalty of death if you research Rodger Williams and Edward Winslow or any written accounts of the native people of southern New England from first contact up until after the king Phillip war you will not find any mention of the people being identified as Wampanoag the colonists executed imprisoned and sold into slavery to places like Barbados and the Caribbean any native with a claim to leadership of the pokanoket and made it illegal to even mention the name of the people whose land it was in order to steal it

You deserve 100,000 subs. I am so grateful for this channel so I can learn more about my family that was targeted here. Thank you.

This channel is such a blessing to the history community. Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
For amateur or new learners about the Wampanoag world, this is a very comprehensive presentation - just what I needed. Thank you for the information.
Happy you’re back! A month ago…thanks TH-cam notifications…

3:05 there was a dig done in my back yard in 1969 where a princess or priestess grave was found similar to this

Eric, it's great to have you back! I miss not being able to learn my American history! Another excellent episode but yes, it's Jacob Marley, not Bob!

There is evidence that fertilization in this case was practiced in England. Possibly learned by Tisquantum while kidnapped.
I don't know about the history, but I know about farming. Corn needs water and nutrients that are found in fish in the 2nd to 4th weeks of growth.
Communal graves? What is your source of info for that?

The corn the pilgrims ate with the natives was about an inch and a half long. Nothing like we have today

lol Bob Cratchett/Bob Marley took me out of it!
I combined Jacob Marley with Bob Cratchit, as a result I am currently being sued by the estate of Bob Marley.

I’ve still got one in my backyard and it attracts deer like you wouldn’t believe. Very useful tree indeed.
