Jennifer Weston: “Reviving the Wampanoag Language”

UPCOMING WEBINAR
Wednesday, June 9, 5 PM

Jennifer Weston (Hunkpapa Lakota of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe) has served as director of the Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project since 2013.  Through Weston’s collaborative leadership, WLRP opened Mukayuhsak Weekuw (The Children’s House), a Montessori based Wampanoag language immersion preschool and kindergarten in the fall of 2016. Wushkeenune8ak Weekuw (The Young People’s House), a Lower Elementary Wampanoag language classroom, has since been added, and  an Upper Elementary classroom will open in the fall of 2021. Please join Jennifer to learn about the many school- and community-based initiatives WLRP has implemented since its co-founding in 1993 by linguist Jessie Little Doe Baird (Mashpee Wampanoag) and tribal elder and educator Helen Manning (Aquinnah Wampanoag).

Susan Howe Music & Speaker Series

We are very pleased and excited to announce the establishment of the Truro Historical Society’s Susan Howe Music & Speaker Series established in her honor due to the generosity of the Truro community, her family and her many friends and colleagues. In establishing this series, Susan’s commitment to Truro’s history and culture will live on and provide inspiration to all.

We will strive to develop and bring a program of inspiring authors, artists, historians, and musicians to the museum each season to share their knowledge and talent with the community and visitors to Truro.

Stay tuned for updates on this new inspiring series and thank you again for your support. If you would like to donate in Susan’s memory, please click on the link:  Donate to the Susan Howe Memorial Fund
