Native America and the Mayflower: 400 years of Wampanoag history
Four hundred years ago, the Wampanoag People watched on as a ship arrived on their shores.

It was not the first ship they had seen arrive, nor would it be the last. But this particular vessel and the people on board would have far and long-lasting consequences for their future and legacy.

The Wampanoag Tribe, also known as the People of the First Light, has inhabited present-day Massachusetts and Eastern Rhode Island for more than 12,000 years.
