Thanksgiving project - Smithsonian - National Museum of the American Indian

On February 12, 2023, I was contacted by a researcher working with the Smithsonian - National Museum of the American Indian inquiring about one of my images, ‘Massasoit at Sunrise’, to be used for their Thanksgiving project.

It would be for grades 3-5 (ages 8-11). They will "examine the "First Thanksgiving" as a historical event, focusing on early encounters between Wampanoag peoples and English colonists. This inquiry aims to dispel misconceptions and misunderstandings about the myth of Thanksgiving by adding nuance, multiple perspectives and age-appropriate detail to the story."

I'm honored to have my photography being used for educational purposes. I'm so blessed to live in this historic town.

This is their website. I’ll be checking it closer to the Thanksgiving. https://americanindian.si.edu/NK360
