Po Wauipi Neimpaug (William Guy), the Sagamore or “chief” of the Tribe relates some of the history of the Tribe before the women lead some of the adults and children in a dance accompanied by the drummers and singers.
The Sagamore shows a patron a coin minted by the Town of Griswold, CT, with Massasoit’s grandson, Simeon Simons, George Washington’s hand-picked bodyguard while Two Deers shows children some of the artifacts.
A patron looks on with two children while Michelle “BlueShell” Bethune shows them some of the items from the table of artifacts that the Tribe brought with them.
