In spring of 1976 a skeleton that had been on display for many years in a local history museum was reburied. The ceremony was a collaboration between the Wellfleet Historical Society, the Wampanoag People, and the Cape Cod National Seashore. In attendance that day were members of all three organizations. What actually happened there, at that moment in history, depends upon who is asked!

Storyteller Jim Wolf has tracked several versions of the story to present to you.

“”Who Tells the Story”” is dedicated to the memory of the late Wamsutta, also known as Frank James, former Nauset Regional High School music teacher and catalyst of the indigenous people’s National Day of Mourning, now observed annually at Plymouth, MA. According to Jim, “Frank was an important mentor to me, and we had many discussions about the differences between oral and written traditions.”
