SUMMARY:Open Today - Wampum: Stories from the Shells of Native America
DESCRIPTION:Wampum: Stories from the Shells of Native America” a traveling exhibit created by SmokeSygnals\, the leading Native creative agency in the Northeast\, will be on display at the Little Compton Historical Society from November 30\, 2024 to January 20\, 2025.   \n\n\n\nThe exhibit\, which has been on tour in the United Kingdom and throughout the Northeast\, tells the story of Wampanoag Native America. The Wampanoag people have inhabited the northeastern United States for over 12\,000 years. Wampanoags greeted the passengers of the Mayflower in 1620 and helped them survive\, yet for almost 400 years\, the story of the impact of that event and its aftermath on the Wampanoag Nation has been widely marginalized in the telling of American history. This new exhibit explores that largely-untold story\, using images\, ideas\, and wampum by contemporary Wampanoag artists and educators\, and examines and celebrates the art\, culture\, and resilience of the Wampanoag Nation. \n\n\n\nSmokeSygnals was founded by the Peters family\, Paula\, Steven\, and Jennifer\, the marketing\, advertising\, and public relations experts that shared a vision for building a Native-owned production company with a commitment to tackling systemic racism through exhibits\, art\, and film. Their goal is to give a voice to the stories and perspectives that have been pushed to the margins of the history books.

SUMMARY:Linda Coombs Talk and Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Author Linda Coombs\, Aquinnah Wampanoag\, author of Colonization and the Wampanoag Story\, will join us for an author talk and a book signing. Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to meet and hear from the author.\n\n\n\nLinda’s author talk is part of our autumnal equinox celebration that will include the making of a Wampanoag mishoon and crafts and activities lead by a team of Wampanoag educators. All of the activities on September 22 from 10 to 4 PM are offered free and open to the public\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book\nUntil now\, you’ve only heard one side of the story: the “discovery” of America told by Christopher Columbus\, the Pilgrims\, and the Colonists. Here’s the true story of America from the Indigenous perspective. \nWhen you think about the beginning of the American story\, what comes to mind? Three ships in 1492\, or perhaps buckled hats and shoes stepping off of the Mayflower\, ready to start a new country. But the truth is\, Christopher Columbus\, the Pilgrims\, and the Colonists didn’t arrive to a vast\, empty land ready to be developed. They arrived to find people and communities living in harmony with the land they had inhabited for thousands of years\, and they quickly disrupted everything they saw. \nFrom its “discovery” by Europeans to the first Thanksgiving\, the story of America’s earliest days has been carefully misrepresented. Told from the perspective of the New England Indigenous Nations that these outsiders found when they arrived\, this is the true story of how America as we know it today began. \n  \nAbout the Author\nLinda Coombs (Aquinnah Wampanoag) is an author and historian from the Wampanoag Tribe of Aquinnah\, and lives in the Wampanoag community of Mashpee on Cape Cod\, MA. Coombs began her museum career in an internship at the Boston Children’s Museum\, and later working there in the Native American Program.  She and her colleague Paulla Dove Jennings (Narragansett) wrote children’s books for a museum series highlighting aspects of southern New England tribal cultures. Coombs also worked for 30 years in the Wampanoag Indigenous Program (WIP) of Plimoth Plantation\, including 15 years as WIP’s Associate Director; and 9 years at the Aquinnah Cultural Center.  Presently she does independent museum consulting and cultural presentations.

SUMMARY:Night Burn
DESCRIPTION:Master mishoon maker Jonathan James-Perry (Aquinnah Wampanoag) will join the Little Compton Historical Society for an artist’s residency this September. He will lead a team of Wampanoag artisans and paddlers in the making of a Wampanoag mishoon (dugout canoe) at the Little Compton Historical Society\, which is located on the traditional homelands of the Sakonnet Wampanoag people. Jonathan and his team will then conduct a Reconnecting Ceremony and launch the mishoon near Squant Rock\, a sacred Wampanoag site\, at Sakonnet Point\, and paddle the mishoon on the Sakonnet River. \nThe mishoon and the ceremonies surrounding it are important parts of two Historical Society projects: this year’s transportation exhibit\, Little Compton Connected\, and next year’s Sakonnet History Project. Upon completion\, the mishoon will become a focal point in the Historical Society’s Sakonnet Wampanoag History Garden which will open to the public in late June 2025. We hope the mishoon paddling on the Sakonnet becomes an annual collaborative event. \nThis project is made possible through the generous support of St. Andrew’s Lodge\, Rhode Island Humanities\, the Little Compton Historical Society’s members and donors\, and our Wampanoag and Narragansett advisors. \n\nMishoon Making\nThe public is invited to join Jonathan and his team during the creation of the mishoon on the Historical Society grounds\, 548 West Main Road\, Little Compton\, RI. The public burning times are alcohol free events and are free and open to all. Guests are welcome to picnic on the grounds. \n  \nNight Burn\n\n     Public Welcome: 7 to 10 PM\n     Kingfisher performs Eastern Social Songs: 7:30 & 8:30 PM

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:LCHS Annual Meeting\n\n\n \nWednesday\, August 14\, 7 PM\n\n\n \nFree and Open to the Public\n\n\n \nAt the United Congregational Church\, 4 South of Commons Rd\, Little Compton\n\n\n \nFeaturing Steven Lubar’s Presentation\, “Little Compton: Connected and Unconnected”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Little Compton Historical Society will hold its annual meeting on Wednesday\, August 14 at 7 pm at the United Congregational Church on the Commons. The event is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\nAfter a 15-minute business meeting and the election of officers and board members\, Little Compton Historical Society Board President Steven Lubar will present a slide lecture on how it was that Little Compton came to seem “so far away.” \n\n\n\nMention Little Compton\, and you get two responses. “It’s so beautiful.” And\, “It’s so far.” The first is certainly true. But the second? Why do we think of Little Compton as being far away? One of the first to claim that the town was hard to get to was Sarah Helen Whitman\, a Providence poet and frequent visitor. In 1869 she writes of her summer in the town\, noting its “charm of remoteness” and sighing\, “So near\, yet\, oh\, how far.” She compared the town to Walden\, and Shangri-La. This talk will trace the history of the idea of Little Compton as an isolated\, distant place\, exploring the way it shaped the development of the town.

SUMMARY:Steamboating to Sakonnet Point\, a talk given by Jim Garman
DESCRIPTION:Jim Garman is the official Town Historian for the town of Portsmouth. He had a long career as a teacher at Portsmouth Abbey School and as a professional photographer. He has an extensive collection of vintage photographs and postcard images of Newport County. He is the author of six books on Newport County history. For almost 50 years he has frequently lectured on topics of interest to Newport County residents.\n\nThis talk will be on the steamboats that ran from Providence to Sakonnet Point and back in the late 19th- early 20th centuries. The steamboats hauled fresh fish and farm produce to market and day-trippers rode each way. It was a fascinating era of local travel and history and the presentation will be well-illustrated.

SUMMARY:Artifact Recovery Days
DESCRIPTION:Help the Little Compton Historical Society recover artifacts – like ceramic sherds and handmade nails – once used by the occupants of the c. 1691 Wilbor House. Use real archaeological tools to find\, sort\, and clean artifacts. Then compare the discoveries to previous finds to identify the artifacts and their role in the Wilbor household.\n\nWe’ve uncovered over 1\,000 artifacts since June\, from a 180 square foot trench dug as part of a construction project. The artifacts deepen our understanding of the Wilbor House and its residents.\n\nAfter you dig\, we encourage you to take a guided tour of the Wilbor House and view our exhibits. The Stories Houses Tell is our current special exhibition & is available until October 16. It features our archaeological findings from the Wilbor House and two other sites in Little Compton. Our permanent exhibits are Everyone Was a Farmer and Terra Nova\, Vida Nova. More information is available at littlecompton.org.\n\nVolunteers of all ages are welcome to contribute to the project. Those under 13 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. Email programs@littlecompton.org to register.

SUMMARY:Little Compton Historical Society Annual Meeting Featuring Primus' House: History and Archaeology in Little Compton\, Holly Herbster
DESCRIPTION:7:00 Business Meeting — Church Sanctuary\n7:15 Speaker: Holly Herbster\, Senior Archaeologist at The Public Archaeology Laboratory\, Inc.\n8:00 Reception — Church Vestry \nRegister for the Zoom link here if you’d like to attend virtually. \nPrimus’ House: History and Archaeology in Little Compton \n \nThe Public Archaeology Laboratory\, Inc. (PAL) has teamed with the Little Compton Historical Society (LCHS) for a second collaborative project to document the history of Black and Indigenous families in Little Compton\, Rhode Island. The property is owned by the Nature Conservancy and was the home of Primus Collins\, a freed person of color who purchased the property on Meeting House Lane from Nathaniel Church in 1836. Primus’ daughter Lucy Collins remained in the house until her death in 1893. The land known as the Church-Collins-Nicholson Property includes a cellar hole\, remnant outbuilding foundations\, and associated fieldstone wall networks. In 2021 PAL conducted an archaeological survey at the Collins Site\, with testing focused around the cellar hole\, yard areas\, well\, and foundations. The survey was designed to help answer questions about the date of house construction and augment the documentary history of the Collins family researched by LCHS Executive Director and historian Marjory O’Toole. The archaeological fieldwork and laboratory processing were completed with PAL archaeologists and volunteer LCHS and community members. \nJoin PAL Senior Archaeologist Holly Herbster and LCHS’ Marjory O’Toole as they share the history of land use on the property and the results of the 2021 archaeological investigations. Learn what the documentary record and the archaeological data tell us (and don’t tell us) about the Collins family\, about the ancient history of this part of Little Compton\, and how this information is being used to help interpret one of two sites in Little Compton that are known to have been associated with eighteenth and nineteenth-century Afro-Indigenous families. \nThe Secrets of Cellar Holes project was funded in large part by the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities.
