Abstract:

This interview highlights the work of Paula Peters, a Wampanoag historian and journalist, to center Wampanoag timelines and homelands in stories of Plymouth Colony. This work revises the current emphasis, among scholars, publishers, and public-facing institutions, on 1620 and on Plymouth Colony as origins points in regional and national histories. Several years before the 2020 commemorations of the Plymouth colonists' settlement at Patuxet, on Wampanoag homelands, Peters and other Wampanoag tribal members created a traveling exhibit through which they are telling Wampanoag histories. The exhibit begins not in 1620 but in 1614, when colonists captured Wampanoag men and took them to England, and it emphasizes Wampanoag peoples' diplomacy with Plymouth settlers and their persistence in the present. The interview discusses the long trajectory of Wampanoag peoples' public-facing scholarship, with the goal of making clear its significance for telling stories about early America.

摘要：

这次采访重点介绍了Wampanoag历史学家和记者Paula Peters的工作，他们将Wampanoag的时间表和家园集中在普利茅斯殖民地的故事中。这项工作修改了学者，出版者和面向公众的机构当前对1620年和普利茅斯殖民地的重视，这是地区和国家历史的起源。在2020年纪念普利茅斯殖民者在Wampanoag故乡Patuxet的定居纪念活动的前几年，彼得斯和其他Wampanoag部落成员创造了一个巡回展览，通过这些展览，他们讲述了Wampanoag的历史。展览的开始不是在1620年，而是在1614年，当时殖民者俘虏了Wampanoag的人并带他们去了英格兰，它强调了Wampanoag人民与普利茅斯定居者的外交以及他们在当下的坚持。
