The Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head/Aquinnah are an indigenous people
on Martha's Vineyard. From their legendary giant leader Moshup,
Wampanoags can trace their ancestry back more than ten thousand
years. The tribe weathered colonization by missionaries in the
1600s, then endured two centuries of domination, only to have their
land taken in 1870. However, over the past 140 years, the Wampanoag
Tribe, which still lives in its ancestral home of Aquinnah, has
shown endurance and fortitude as it continues to practice
traditional crafts and its tribal heritage. Thomas Dresser captures
the spirit of the tribe, tracing its survival through to
recognition by the federal government in 1987, nearly twenty-five
years ago. Brief interviews with elders and current tribal members
offer insight into the tribe's remarkable history.
