Wampanoag families are invited to a community seminar, “Natural Deathcare: Honoring Mother Earth and Our Loved Ones,” on Sunday, March 29, from 1:00–3:00 PM at the Old Indian Meetinghouse in Mashpee.
This gathering will share ways families can learn about natural deathcare, including caring for loved ones at home and returning them to the earth in ways aligned with our sacred Native traditions. The program will feature Rachel Hicks and family, sharing their experience following the passing of Errie Hicks, along with Heather Massey, Natural Deathcare Educator and Funeral Consumer Rights Advocate, and Viennia Lopes Booth, Natural Deathcare Educator and Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal Citizen. A Q&A and community discussion will follow.
The seminar is hosted by the Mashpee Wampanoag Historic Preservation Department, with support from the Native Land Conservancy.
