Just saw a piece about #Nipmuc / #Nipmuck Mishoon burning on the news. The way they make the Mishoon was a lot like how I learned to burn bowls out of a piece of wood. It's too bad none of them own land on what used to be their tribal waterways. #SettlerColonialism and #RealEstate wheeling and dealing made sure that didn't happen. I hope that changes. #Landback

Preserving Our Heritage: The Art of Mishoon Burning

June 4, 2024 / By Barbi Gardiner

"The Nipmuc/k people have endured many challenges throughout history, from the arrival of European settlers to the impact of the Industrial Revolution. Despite these obstacles, our community has remained resilient, preserving our language, traditions, and connection to the land. The stories of our ancestors, their skills, and their knowledge continue to be passed down through generations, ensuring that our rich heritage is not forgotten."
