Another Successful Native American Thanks Giving was held on Saturday, November 23. The Old Indian Meeting House Committee hosted a beautiful service at the church with a full house consisting of Tribal families and many guest from the Mashpee Community. Our guests brought several yummy dishes to the luncheon.

As usual we received only good comments and many thanks for inviting the public to celebrate with us.

Crowd favorites from the large buffet tables were Bernadine Pocknett’s warm Indian Pudding; Corey Hendricks’ fresh “First Light Oysters on the half shell and Buddy Pocknett’s baked fish with vegetables and Erin Bassett’s deer hindquarter provided us with tons of venison stew. Our Tribal fishermen and hunters supported us with their generous donations of food and their time. Thank you so much – you went above and beyond. And the drummers performed their much appreciated Tribal songs.

There were cameras from the local t.v. station, a local reporter was speaking to some Tribal members and we were told there was a camera person form CNN!

We hope everyone enjoyed this annual celebration that showed off our beautiful historic meeting house and the generosity the Mashpee Wampanoag have shown their visitors for centuries.

Thanks again to all of the volunteers that helped us greatly.
