The Massachusett Nation with Mr. Thomas Spirit Tree Green

Thomas Spirit Tree Green is a descendent of the Neponset band of Massachuset who gathered at the praying town of Ponkapoag. He is a Tribal Council Member and Chairman of the tribe’s History Preservation Committee. He is an indigenous artist focused on quahog shell, seed bead jewelry and traditional regalia.

In this lecture Mr. Green will highlight the interactions between the indigenous people of the Massachuset Nation and European traders, including The Great Dying, when 90% of the Massachuset Nation was decimated by plague. He will describe what was happening within the hierarchy of the bloodline Sac’hemship just prior to English colonization and introduce the audience to Nanepashemet and his wife, the Squaw Sac’hem, who were pivotal leaders in the early twilight of what was to become America.
