The paper which follows was written by me in 1965. It was originally
intended to serve as an in-house guide for Plantation staff to use
when explaining Wampanoag culture to visitors. The absence of any
other comprehensive treatment of Plymouth’s aboriginal population has
made the paper an item much in demand by Plantation staff, visitors,
and members of the academic community. Hopefully its publication in
the OCCASIONAL PAPERS series will make this ethnographic information
available to an even greater number of interested persons.
