Water is the Blood of Creation

Part of our WaterWatch Lecture Series.
Jonathan James Perry, Aquinnah Wampanoag Nation – Water is an integral part of the Wampanoag peoples’ identity and connection to Creation. Their interdependence on the waterways has spanned for thousands of years and continues to be paramount for their health, transportation, subsistence, and ceremonies. Join us to learn from Aquinnah Wampanoag Councilman, culture bearer, artist, and traditional boat maker Jonathan James Perry as he discusses the Northeastern coastal Native peoples’ respect for and usage of the complex water systems along the New England coast line.

The WaterWatch Lecture Series is FREE and open to the public. Sponsored by Clean Harbors, Rockland Federal  Credit Union, and Mass Cultural Council. Brought to you by the North and South Rivers Watershed Association, the South Shore Natural Science Center, Mass Audubon South Shore Sanctuaries, and the South Shore YMCA.
