Wampanoags Yesterday, Today, and on Thanksgiving
Saturday, November 15 at 12:00 pm
Come explore the
culture that greeted some of the first European settlers in America. A Native museum educator from
the Wampanoag Indigenous program at Plimouth Plantation (Plymouth,
MA) will discuss the life and culture of the
Wampanoag People, who continue to make their homes on Cape
Cod today.
Hear the Native
perspective on Thanksgiving. For the Wampanoag,
it was Keepunumuk, the time of the harvest, while the English calendar
said it was the autumn of 1621. In a small English town on the edge of the
sea, more than 90 Wampanoag men shared food with 52 colonists. Over the
centuries, the story of this gathering has been lost, recovered, told and
retold. More than 200 hundred years later, this three-day celebration would
come to be known as the First Thanksgiving. Images and artifacts will help
reveal the special event that took place during those days.
Veterans Day - CLOSED
The library will re-open on Wednesday for regular hours.
November Artist - Joan Shostak
Throughout the month
of November, enjoy a show by artist and Yarmouth Port
resident Joan Shostak, who was named one of Cape Cod Life’s 400 people who
brighten our lives in 2005.
A retired
kindergarten teacher turned artist, Ms. Shostak teaches watercolor art in both Florida and on the Cape.
Living on beautiful Cape Cod since 1983, the
artist draws inspiration from the landscape and brings happiness to her patrons
by creating commissioned portraits of their beloved homes. She has been chosen
to be in two calendars, one national and one sponsored by Winkir Printing, South Yarmouth, MA.
Ms. Shostak appreciates her fellow professional and gallery artists, having attended many local classes and workshops. She is a juried artist member of the Cape Cod Art Association and a Board member of the Yarmouth Art Guild.
The artist’s work is on display in the Meeting Room during most open library hours.
