Pumpkin knowledge 🎃

🎃🍂 Happy National Pumpkin Day! 🍂🎃

The word, "pumpkin" is derived from a the Wôpanâak word "pôhpukun," which means "grows forth round." Pumpkins aren't just a fall favorite—they've been a vital part of Indigenous agriculture for centuries. Did you know that pumpkins, along with corn and beans, are part of the "Three Sisters" planting method, a traditional technique used by the Wampanoag and many other Indigenous peoples?

This National Pumpkin Day, we're celebrating the resilience of our food traditions and the role pumpkins continue to play in Wampanoag culture. Whether you're carving one, making a pie, or just enjoying their vibrant presence, let's honor this beautiful harvest season!

Join us in learning more about Wampanoag traditions and language. Follow us for more updates on classes, cultural events, and ways to support the Wampanoag Language Reclamation Project! 🌾

Shinnecock Youth Council

We are a group of Shinnecock Youth ranging from 14 to 24 years old.

Traveling and representing the People of the Stony Shore across the Nation is one of the many efforts our Youth Council makes. Hands-on experience is essential to the growth in our leadership skills. We display the strength of future leaders in many arenas Locally, Regionally and Nationally. In addition to being advocates of Indigenous rights, humility is showcased through our various acts of volunteerism.

Honor, Respect, and Perseverance is at the forefront of the Shinnecock Youth Council in all we exhibit, while maintaining the following three principles: Volunteerism, Advocacy, and Cultural Preservation.
