Understanding Wampanoag Culture through Wôpanâak Language

  • Highfield Hall & Gardens 56 Highfield D (map)

Join Dr. Nitana Hicks Greendeer—educator, linguist, and researcher—for an engaging look at the critical connection between language and culture. The Wôpanâak language has been in a process of reclamation for over 30 years and in 2016 Weetumuw School was opened to bring the language to Wampanoag children. Wampanoag children have been given the unique opportunity to experience an education that supports their whole selves, a model which all children deserve, and that will have lasting impacts for generations, undoing the effects of educational and generational trauma, and opening the door for decolonization.
