Elizabeth James-Perry, Aquinnah Wampanoag Culture Bearer and Artist, joins us for a conversation on the experiences of Native communities in the Massachusetts area during the American Revolution. As part of the new special exhibition Whose Revolution Elizabeth James-Perry created a Wampum choker that represents the kind of object an eighteenth-century Wampanoag soldier from eastern Massachusetts, active in the Revolutionary War Militia and Naval companies might choose to wear into battle. In the forum, learn more about the creation of the chocker and its significance. Arrive early for an opportunity to view the Wampum choker in the special exhibition Whose Revolution.
