Giving Thanks with the Wampanoag

Kitty Hendricks, a Mashpee Wampanoag, will share the many ways in which the Wampanoag people give thanks. She will talk about the 17th century harvest celebration that has since become known as Thanksgiving, as well as the multitude of ways in which the Wampanoag people celebrate and give thanks throughout the year. Children will look at objects used in dance and celebration, and make quahog rattles to take home. They will then use their rattles to participate in a friendship dance.
