Indigenous Film Series: “We Still Live Here” | Jan 9

Âs Nutayuneân: We Still Live Here, Director Anne Makepeace. This insightful documentary tells a remarkable story of cultural revival by the Wampanoag Indians of Southeastern Massachusetts. Their ancestors ensured the survival of the first English settlers in America and lived to regret it.  Centuries later, Jessie Little Doe Baird had dreams in which her ancestors spoke to her in Wampanoag, a language that hadn’t been used for over 100 years. Now the Aquinnah and Mashpee Wampanoag communities are bringing their language home again, saying loud and clear in their Native tongue, Âs Nutayuneân, “we still live here.”

Brandy Toelupe, attorney for the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe will lead 
a post-screening discussion with the audience.
