Construction Begins at Maushop Farm

Community members have begun constructing a wetu at Maushop Farm, kicking off the development of Maushop's Village, a traditional Wampanoag homesite. Cedar poles have been harvested and stripped, and the structure is currently being built. Tribal youth interns have participated in each step of the process, and the experience has been a great way for them to learn and practice traditional cultural ways.

 The finalized homesite will be comprised of different areas that would have been seen in a traditional Wampanoag Village. There will be space for a winter homesite and a summer homesite as well as areas for gardening, mat weaving, recreation, fishing/maritime activities, flint knapping, and cooking.
