Before New England was New England, it was the Dawnland. A region that remains the homeland of numerous Native American peoples, including the Wampanoag.

Over the next two episodes, we\\u2019ll explore the World of the Wampanoag before and after 1620, a year that saw approximately 100 English colonists enter the Wampanoags\\u2019 world. Those English colonists have been called the \\u201cPilgrims\\u201d and this year, 2020, marks the 400th anniversary of their arrival in New England. T

he arrival of these English settlers brought change to the Wampanoags\\u2019 world. But many aspects of Wampanoag life and culture persisted, as did the Wampanoag who lived, and still live, in Massachusetts and beyond.

In this episode, we\\u2019ll investigate the cultures, society, and economy of the Wampanoags\\u2019 16th- and 17th-century world. This focus will help us develop a better understanding for the peoples, places, and circumstances of the World of the Wampanoag.
