The Spirit of the Aquinnah Wampanoag

The Island of Noepe, also known as Martha's Vineyard which is located off the coast of Cape Cod Massachusetts, is richly bathed in a history that goes back thousands of years. On the Western part of the island live the Original People known as the Aquinnah Wampanoag. They carry the knowledge, medicine, stories and the traditions of their land.
