In the first picture, you see Lissette & I talking with a Wampanoag Native. He was telling us about the dugout canoes , called mishoon, that they make from logs. In the 1600's, before the Pilgrim's came and claimed the land, the natives had huge trees that they could build mishoons from, which would hold as many as 70 men. Today, no such trees exist.
In the second picture, Lissette and I are in the nushwetu in Hobbamock's Homesite. We sat around and asked questions of a Wampanoag woman.
The main difference between the Hobbamock Homesite and the Pilgrim Village is that in the Pilgrim village you are talking to people who aren't pilgrims, but know alot about them, and they are reenacting life. In the Hobbamock Homesite, you are talking to real Wampanoag Indians, who are continuing to live out their customs. It's very different from the Pilgrim village, but just as enjoyable.
