WE AND THE LAND ARE ONE THING-Wampanoag Health Equity Symposium (Orleans)

This symposium delves into the truth that the health of Indigenous people – indeed all Human beings – is intimately interrelated to and dependent upon the health of the land, and what “the health of the land” really means. The program includes two panel discussions, a special Wampanoag lunch, and a _Film screening. The day will open and close with traditional hand drum songs. All of the speakers are from the Mashpee or Aquinnah Wampanoag tribes, and are knowledge keepers of foodways, culture or language.
