In Wôpanâak Seasons a young Wampanoag child takes readers on a seasonal journey through Aquinnah, on Neope, known as Martha's Vineyard. Spring brings the return of wildlife; summer brings beach adventures and clambakes; fall is for harvesting cranberries and making jams; and winter features cozy gatherings and heartfelt traditions. Each season showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Wampanoag people. With striking illustrations and lyrical prose, this book is about an appreciation of the land and the joy the joy of coming together with our community all year round.
Carrie Anne Vanderhoop is from a lineage of prestigious Haida weavers--the daughter of Evelyn Vanderhoop and the granddaughter of Delores Churchill from the Gawa Git'ans Massett Inlet Eagle Clan of Old Massett. Her father, David Vanderhoop, is Aquinnah Wampanoag from Neope--Martha's Vineyard--where she was raised. As an educator, Carrie Anne hopes this book will foster in young people a connection with our natural world--and respect for the first peoples of Turtle Island. She lives on Haida Gwaii.
