Join us for a profound conversation with Paula Peters from 2024, a citizen of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, as we unravel the myths surrounding Thanksgiving and explore the rich history and culture of the Wampanoag people. Discover the untold stories of colonization, the impact of diseases, and the ongoing struggle for land and cultural preservation. Paula shares insights into the Wampanoag's spiritual beliefs, their connection to the land, and the efforts to correct historical narratives. This episode is a journey into the resilience and enduring spirit of Indigenous peoples.
Paula Peters, citizen of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, shares the historical and cultural legacy and story of the Wampanoag: the People of the First Light. She unravels common misperceptions and false narratives around the first “Thanksgiving” and the harvest of 1621 involving Native people and the first colonizers, the Pilgrims. By acknowledging what has gone before, she invites us to envision and collectively create a balanced way forward for humanity.
The Wampanoag have lived in southeastern Massachusetts for more than 12,000 years. They are the tribe first encountered by Mayflower Pilgrims when they landed in Provincetown harbor and explored the eastern coast of Cape Cod and when they continued on to Patuxet (Plymouth) to establish Plymouth Colony.

Hurricane Melissa: Jamaica’s Unprecedented Storm and its Aftermath
In this episode, we confront the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, the strongest storm in recorded history to strike Jamaica with massive damage to Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba. We hear firsthand accounts from Jamaican survivors who faced terrifying winds and flooding, and we delve into the role of climate change in intensifying such storms. We feature two climate scientists, Dr. Michael Mann and Dr. Daniel Swain, juxtaposed with a documentarian on the ground, Jonathan Petramala.
Join us as we explore the urgent need for aid and the resilience of the Jamaican people in the face of catastrophe.
