In a recent community meeting, discussions centered around the historical significance of land in the region, particularly concerning the Pocasset Wampanoag tribe and their ongoing efforts to reclaim sacred and ceremonial lands. Chief Everett Page highlighted the tribe's deep-rooted connection to the area, noting that his family has lived in the Flint neighborhood for generations and that he regularly visits the reservation with family and community members.

The Pocasset tribe, recognized by the Massachusetts state legislature in 1938, has a rich history tied to the land, which includes the original 1709 reservation. The tribe's ancestral ties to the area were emphasized, particularly in relation to the historical context of the Watapa Troy praying town, which once featured its own school and chapel.

Concerns were raised regarding the accuracy of information related to a specific building, with calls for the removal of incorrect details that misrepresent the tribe's history. The meeting also referenced a letter from Cora Pierce, Deputy Tribal Historic Preservation Officer of the Narragansett Indian Tribe, underscoring the collaborative efforts among local tribes to preserve their heritage and advocate for their rights.

The discussions reflect a broader commitment to acknowledging and rectifying historical inaccuracies while fostering a deeper understanding of the cultural significance of the land to the Pocasset Wampanoag tribe and other indigenous communities in the region.
