Wopanaak Language Reclamation

The Wopanaak Language Reclamation Project (WLRP) is a collaborative initiative involving the Mashpee, Aquinnah, Assonet, and Herring Pond Wampanoag communities, aimed at reviving the ancestral Wopanaak language after over 150 years of dormancy. Inspired by a profound personal experience of Jessie 'Little Doe' Baird, the project seeks to restore the sacred privilege of the tribes through education and community engagement.

Through various programs, classes, and volunteer opportunities, WLRP is dedicated to bringing back the language one student at a time, honoring the cultural heritage of the Wampanoag people. This effort embodies the commitment to reconnect with their roots and celebrate their identity through linguistic reclamation.
