Rock formation on Aquinnah Beach, Martha's Vineyard. Tucked on the westernmost post of Martha’s Vineyard, Aquinnah is a Native town reclaimed after hundreds of years of colonization. Its history is rich & magical, and for the few hours I traipsed around the dunes and combed the cold beach sand and surf for wampum shells, I couldn’t help but feel as though there was a spiritual warm blanket around me. 10,000 steps wasn’t enough- I will absolutely return to learn more. Read more about the Wampanoag people below, in their own words:
The last great North American glacier began its retreat some 10,000 years ago, leaving behind the accumulation of boulders, sand, and clay that is now known as Martha's Vineyard. There, it is said, a benevolent being named Moshup roamed the land. One day, Moshup was making his way across the mainland to the headlands of the Aquinnah Cliffs. Weary from his journey, Moshup dragged his foot heavily, leaving a deep track in the mud. At first, only a silver thread of water trickled in the track. But gradually, the ocean's force of wind and tides broadened and deepened the opening, creating an island named Noepe. The Wampanoag were the first people of Noepe.
The ancestors of Wampanoag people have lived for at least 10,000 years at Aquinnah (Gay Head) and throughout the island of Noepe (Martha's Vineyard), pursuing a traditional economy based on fishing and agriculture. The Aquinnah Wampanoag share the belief that the giant Moshup created Noepe and the neighboring islands, taught our people how to fish and to catch whales, and still presides over our destinies. Our beliefs and a hundred million years of history are imprinted in the colorful clay cliffs of #Aquinnah.
