Wampanoags

The Wampanoag people live in the northeastern United States. They were historically prosperous due to their rich farming environment. They are well known for helping the Plymouth colony learn to catch and grow their own food, and are given much of the credit for the survival of the colony.

Is it true that the Pilgrims share corn on the cob and pumpkin pie and yams with the Wampanoags?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. The corn we know as corn on the cob was not introduced to the Americas until later. Also the Pigrims did have pumpkin, but not in a pie. Instead, they boiled the pumpkin. Sweet potatoes and yams were not likely to have been served either since they were not introduced until later. Squashes, berries, rye flour cakes sweetened with either berries or honey would be served. Corn was ground into flour or the corn was mixed with ash and then boiled in stews.

While there is much information on the Wampanoag language, the language itself hasn't been used for over 100 years and there are no translations of the phrase "I love you" available. There is currently a movement among Native Americans to revive this language.

Who was the leader of the Wampanoag Indians?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There was no one leader, as the Algonquin people were made of many different tribes. Each tribe had their own leader, and this role was passed down to other male family members; in present time, it is voted on democratically.

The paramount leader or chief of an Algonquian Indian tribe is called a sagamore or sachem.

Two leaders of the Algonquian nations were.Tecumseh and Pontiac.

What type of clothes did the Wampanoag tribe wear?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Wampanoag, Nauset and Sakonnet tribes were closely-related peoples living in Rhode Island, nearby islands and the adjacent areas of Massachesetts. We have little first-hand information regarding their native dress but this was certainly very similar to that of their neighbours the Massachusett and Narraganset.

Men wore a fitted breechclout with fringed flaps hanging front and rear, thigh-length leggings with quilled garters below the knee, moccasins made in one piece with a seam along the instep, winter robes of deerskin or animal furs, quilled headbands and shell necklaces and earrings.

In warm weather the breechclout could be worn alone.

All clothing was originally of deerskin but plain-coloured trade cloth was adopted as soon as it became available, especially for breechclouts.

Warriors wore trade knives in sheaths hung around the neck like a pendant.

Most men wore their hair long and loose, but some mayhave shaved most of the head to leave a scalplock at the back decorated with shell beads and feathers.

Because of the lack of evidence for the original dress of the Wampanoag people, modern reconstructions are often unreliable but the link below takes you to a modern reconstruction of a Wampanoag hunter, his wife and a temporary shelter that may be fairly accurate:

How did the wampanoag feel about the pilgrims arrival?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They were not worried.

The Pilgrims didn't bring enough supplies to last through the winter. The Pokanoket Tribe watched the newcomers and found they were as children needing help to learn how to survive. Their numbers were only 50 having lost half of their number who crossed the waters by spring. Certainly the pilgrims were not a threat. The Massasoit whose name is Ousa Mequin helped them by teaching them how to hunt, fish, and plant the crops they would need to survive.

The Pokanoket Tribe, who were the headship tribe of the Wampanoag nation, later that year (1621) brought the food for the first Thanksgiving between the two cultures. The Indians found the Pilgrims to be a good people and not a threat at all. Those who arrived after the initial Pilgrims landed came to conquer, convert, and pillage. Those are the ones the Wampanoag fought the King Philip War against under the leadership of Metacom aka King Philip of the Pokanoket Tribe.

Was the Wampanoags the Native American tribe that built an alliance with the Pilgrims?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, in fact the Narragansett were one of the dominating forces of the region and effectively subjugated the Wampanoag and many other native groups in the area. They expected payment of tribute in the form of shell beads, deer hides, foodstuffs and other goods - so the relationship was like conqueror and conquered.

By 1620 the Narragansett were very suspicious of the friendly relationships between the Wampanoag and white settlers. This led eventually to open warfare in 1632 when the Narragansett attacked Wampanoag villages, but they were driven off (with help from the English).

Squanto, a Pawtuxet Indian born around 1585, served as an interpreter and intermediary between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag. Squanto grew up in a village close to where the Pilgrim's settled in 1620. He went to England and learned to speak English. When he returned he found his village had been wiped out by smallpox. He joined the Wampanoag tribe.
