About this Event
Join Joseph Lee (Aquinnah Wampanoag), author of Nothing More of This Land: Community, Power, and the Search for Indigenous Identity for an author talk and Q&A that sparks conversations about Indigenous history and identity and raises awareness of contemporary Indigenous issues.
Before Martha’s Vineyard became one of the most iconic vacation destinations in the country, it was home to the Wampanoag people. Today, as tourists flock to the idyllic beaches, the island has become increasingly unaffordable for tribal members, with nearly three-quarters now living off-island. Growing up Aquinnah Wampanoag, journalist Joseph Lee grappled with what this situation meant for his tribe. He asks how the community can continue to grow and more broadly, what it means to be Indigenous.
The author and Q&A will take place from 2–3 pm, followed by a book signing and reception from 3–4 pm.
