Tribe Who Fed the Pilgrims Strives for Survival Amid New Epidemic

Many Wampanoag hoped that the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower landing would be a galvanizing event to remind people that they still exist

Sad that much hasn’t changed in 400 years.

Thankful

Struggling pilgrims meeting

the hard year of '20,

crushing hopes, taking lives,

losing half, too much sickness,

starvation calling our names

pity from the Lord our God

extending mercy to us,

Samoset our first friend,

Squanto, the freed captive

and the Wampanoag

the teacher, our friends,

answers to long prayers

bringing us to '21

with plenty of food

and a much renewed hope,

for this we are thankful.
