Earl Mills, Wampanoag Chief
A Native American's Cape Cod

Cape Cod. Earl will relate stories of the early peoples, their cultural
heritage, their relationship with the "new Americans," their livelihoods and
their continuing struggle for recognition as their cultural heritage becomes
tenuous. Earl is a captivating storyteller.

migratory animals and the present state of and risks to our natural

May 11  
David Augustinho, Executive Director
Cape and Islands Workforce Investment Board
The History of the Growth of Population on Cape Cod 
from Colonial Times to the Present
   The demography of Cape Cod is not only the story of the growth of
population and the overbuilding of homes. There were times of decline and
turmoil, employment issues and cultural conflict.
   David Augustinho will explore the history of population dynamics past,
present and future. Do you know the age distribution of our population or
the number of Cape families under the poverty line?  What you learn may
surprise you.
 
May 18   
Wendy Northcross, Chief Executive Officer
Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce
The History of the Industries of Cape Cod
   The progression of the livelihoods of Cape Codders from farming, fishing,
salt works and cranberry farms to industries such as boat building,
glassworks, housing 
construction, recreation, hospitality and, of course, tourism is the story
of workers, opportunity, wealth and economic conditions through time. 
   Wendy Northcross will talk about the historical perspective and the
present state of the economy.
