A picture of a bee in a flower, with the text "In Wampanoag tradition, we honor all living beings- even the small ones! Bees are essential pollinators, helping our wild plants, berries, and crops grow in the spring. Without them, most of our food and medicine would not exist." In the bottom right corner is the Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe logo.
With spring around the corner, the bees return to their work — pollinating the plants that feed and heal us. When we protect the bees, we protect our food, our medicine, and our future. #SaveTheBees #Pollinators #Indigenous

There are autistic people in every community, and those in marginalized communities tend to have much less access to autism resources. We ask that you help to end the stigma around autism, and while some people may focus on "awareness," we ask you to instead focus on acceptance.

four people standing in a circle, touching elbows to each other. White text in the middle of the image says "Healing doesn't happen alone. It happens in circles."
A conversation with an elder, a friend, or a family member can be medicine. Science confirms: Social connections reduce stress, depression, and even strengthen the immune system. Who can you reach out to today? #CommunityHealing #IndigenousConnection #MentalWellness #WeAreStrongerTogether

We've been known by many names in the past, but today we're known as the Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe. We've been here for thousands of years, and are one of the few Wampanoag Tribes remaining on our traditional homelands. We have and will continue to work hard to ensure the survival of our culture.
