Wampanoag Tribe Cultural Connection to Water

The Falmouth Water Stewards invites the public to a talk by Paula 
Peters, a member of the Wampanoag Tribe, about the tribe’s cultural and 
historic connection to water.

The talk, called “Water is Life: A Discussion About Our Water from the 
Wampanoag Perspective,” is scheduled for Thursday, March 21, at 7:30pm 
in the Hermann Room at Falmouth Public Library, Falmouth, MA.

Ms. Peters is the principal consultant and lead writer for SmokeSygnals, 
a communications consulting agency.

She served as executive producer of “Our” Story: Captured 1614, a 
multi-media traveling exhibition telling the story of 27 Wampanoag men 
kidnapped from their villages in 1614. She also served as executive 
producer of “Mashpee Nine: A Story of Cultural Justice” about a 1976 
incident in Mashpee.

An award-winning journalist, she also served as marketing and public 
relations director at Plimoth Plantation in Plymouth.

The mission of the Falmouth Water Stewards is to protect, preserve and 
restore Falmouth’s bays, estuaries, salt ponds and fresh waters through 
education, advocacy and citizen science.

The talk is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
