Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe

The Tribal Young Adult Exhibit Project will create an interactive, kiosk-based exhibit that utilizes the wealth of Wampanoag cultural materials and resources housed within the tribe's collections. These include tribal enrollment genealogical records, tribal museum artifacts, tribal archives, and the Tribal Historic Preservation Department's (THPD) research resources. To support the implementation of this project, THPD will tap into the talents of the tribe's young adult (ages 18-30) peer group to gather ideas for exhibit scope, theme, content, direction and development of this Wampanoag cultural exhibit. The project will present many items from the collection that have not previously been widely shared with the general tribal body.
