We Are The Land
The Wampanoag Nation are presenting their story through singing, dance and spoken word, for the first time, in Plymouth this Spring.
It consists of We Are The Land, a one-off performance in Theatre Royal Plymouth’s Lyric auditorium on 23 April 2023, followed by a week of workshops and performances in The Drum (25–27 April 2023).
The Wampanoag have been stewarding their land for over 10,000 years across several of the Eastern States of the USA including Massachusetts. Their land was where the Pilgrim Fathers landed on and colonised, creating settlements that established modern America, to the detriment of the Wampanoag nation.
The voice of the Wampanoag was silenced, but now We Are The Land is an opportunity to understand their relationship to the soil, how it was taken away, and how the tribe have re-established themselves.
