Wampanoag History

May 28, 2013 — ancestors, history, Plimouth Colony, Wampanoag

My visit to Cape Cod and Plymouth to uncover the history of my ancestors was an adventure and a surprise. When I learned that the Wampanoag tribe had lost almost 200 years of the data, graves, and details of the history of their people I was confused and upset.  Next I visited the museum complex at Plimouth Plantation where the culture and historical way of life of the Wampanoag tribe is demonstrated.  It is an attempt to redress and correct some misinformation that has been passed down for a long time.  The young people who work there enjoy their jobs teaching people about their ancestors.
