Yesterday, a tribal Matriarch and Spiritual Leader began her journey to the spirit world to be reunited with our ancestors.
To allow the community time to gather and mourn respectfully, the Community and Government Center will be closed today, Monday, March 3rd. She touched every family of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and was a person leaned on for cultural and spiritual strength. Please keep our community in your thoughts and prayers as we honor her unique place in the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe.
