The Wampanoag people were a Native American tribe located in what is now southeastern Massachusetts and parts of Rhode Island. Prior to European contact in the early 17th century, their population is estimated to have been between 12,000 to 30,000 individuals. However, following the arrival of Europeans and the subsequent impacts of disease, warfare, and colonization, their numbers drastically declined. Today, there are still Wampanoag communities, including the Mashpee and Aquinnah Wampanoag tribes, but their historical population has significantly diminished.

The first Native American tribe that the English Pilgrims encountered was the Wampanoag. In 1600, the Wampanoag lived in southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. At that time, their population numbered about 12,000. Today their population is a little over 2,000.

In the Wampanoag language, the word for mother is "Ene." The Wampanoag people have a rich linguistic heritage that reflects their culture and traditions. Efforts are ongoing to revitalize and preserve the Wampanoag language.
British colonization had a profound impact on the Wampanoag people, leading to significant disruptions in their traditional way of life. The arrival of settlers in the early 17th century introduced new diseases, which decimated their population. Additionally, land dispossession and conflicts over resources led to tensions, culminating in the outbreak of King Philip's War in 1675, which further diminished Wampanoag autonomy and territory. Ultimately, colonization resulted in a long-term decline of the Wampanoag's cultural and political power.
