Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe

In anticipation of the Plymouth 400th anniversary, the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe will design and install a new museum exhibit to mark the 1620 landing of the Mayflower in Wampanoag territory. A Wampanoag historian will guide the development of the exhibit and conduct interpreter training to ensure that accurate historical facts are presented to museum visitors. The exhibit will teach visitors about the cultural implications for the tribal community during the first five years of English settlement in the area. A series of instructional audio recordings will support the visitor experience. The exhibit will also include audio recordings for intercom announcements, which will be interspersed with Wampanoag language to achieve a full immersion experience.
