The Cash in the Plate for November will be donated to the Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe Fund (non-profit) to acquire 38 acres of their ancestral land on Triangle Pond in Plymouth. https://www.herringpondtribe.org/
According to tribal chair Melissa Ferretti, the land is currently owned by Sagamore Cranberry. If purchased by the Tribe, Ms. Ferretti said it would be used as an educational nature hub, museum of Native artifacts, and community center to host powwows. The tribe would also use spaces on the land to honor specific populations, including dedicating a forest to two-spirit Tribe members, among other dedications.
