Mashpee Wampanoag
Cape Cod MA is where Lindsay grew up, and where we are celebrating our marriage. Falmouth, before colonial occupation, historically belonged to the Wampanoag people, or the "People of the First Light." Before colonization, Falmouth was known as Sucanesset, though it is challenging to find detailed Sucanesset history. Regardless, the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe has been essential to forwarding indigenous history on Cape Cod and throughout Massachusetts. While their fight for sovereignty is currently dormant, please consider supporting the tribe through their education, outreach, and/or healthcare events.
