Did you know that the native people of our area are the Massachuseuk? The newcomers said Massachuset, and our state is now Massachusetts. Gill Solomon, who is also called Feather-on-the-Moon or Nanepashmequin, is sachem of the Massachuset-Ponkapoag Tribal Council. Feather-on-the-Moon will talk about Native ways of looking at our world such as the creation of the earth, the Native people's relationship with nature, the traditional ways of life, and the concepts of spirituality. "As Native people to this land, we live with the earth and all creatures. We celebrate all life."
