Summary
"It certainly shaped the beginnings of our country," said Michele Pecoraro, the executive director of Plymouth 400, part of a commemoration of the Pilgrims' legacy, with a collaborator previously missing from past anniversary events. "So, it is the first real attempt to have a historically accurate and a culturally-inclusive commemoration."A member of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, Steve Peters created an exhibit for Plymouth 400 about the Pilgrims' arrival, called "Our" Story: 400 Years of Wampanoag History.Chen asked, "Is this something that could have not happened even a generation ago?""Yeah, I don't think this could have happened 20 years ago," said Peters. It was known as the "Great Dying."Historian Donna Curtin, executive director of Pilgrim Hall Museum, said, "That's Plymouth's story – the village of Patuxet entirely wiped out."The Wampanoag people suffered heavy losses, making them more receptive to new alliances.
