I’m writing to update everyone on the status of House Bill H7477 and Senate Bill S2238

H7477 was heard on the house floor on 2/29/24 and is currently being held for further study.

https://rhodeislandcurrent.com/2024/03/01/no-opposition-to-bill-to-recognize-seaconke-wampanoag-tribe-except-from-mckee/

https://rhodeislandcurrent.com/2024/03/11/too-many-governors-and-not-enough-understanding-why-the-seaconke-wampanoags-deserve-recognition/

We're asking our supporters to directly contact Gov. Dan McKee at https://governor.ri.gov/contact (the correct choice in the ‘Issue’ dropbox is the very bottom choice, COMMENTS)

Below is the letter that I’ve sent, to use as a template, though of course your own words would be best.

My name is Monique Poirier - I’m the Secretary of the Seaconke Wampanoag tribe and the author of the book To Shape a Dragon's Breath - nominated for both the Andre Norton Nebula Award for Middle Grade and Young Adult Fiction (https://nebulas.sfwa.org/news/) and the Lodestar Award for Best YA Book (https://www.thehugoawards.org/hugo-history/2024-hugo-awards/). I’m writing today in hopes of bringing your attention to RI House Bill H7477 and Senate Bill S2238, which regard state recognition of the Seaconke Wampanoag Tribe.

Historically, the Seaconke Wampanoag resided in Massachusetts and Rhode Island - Cumberland, Lincoln, Pawtucket, and East Providence. When the state lines were drawn, dividing Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the tribe was divided. Half of the tribe resides in Rhode Island, and half in Massachusetts. Recognizing the tribe in Rhode Island would eliminate this division, and allow all members of our tribe to be recognized in the state that they live in. I myself co-own a home, pay taxes, and vote in Pawtucket.

We are only asking for recognition; we are not asking for money or land, and we have no interest in establishing a gaming facility - only for the state to acknowledge that we are still here.

Recognizing the Seaconke Wampanoag Tribe in the state of Rhode Island would give us access to federal funding, which would benefit Rhode Island as well - it would bring money into the state.

These bills would recognize the Seaconke Wampanoag Tribe as a Native American Indian Tribe for the limited purpose of establishing eligibility for federal education, job training, healthcare, and housing benefits - and the federal protection of the sale of Native Artwork by the members of our tribe. Our goal is to more effectively pursue support for tribal healthcare and education initiatives, to protect our cultural sites, and to practice our culture and arts. We sincerely hope to gain your support in our efforts.

If you’d like to run a story on any platform concerning the efforts of the Seaconke Wampanoag Tribe, please contact:

Chief Darrel Waldron - 401-781-1098, dwaldron@rhodeislandindiancouncil.org

First Councilman John Harris - 401-699-1913, jharris021452@gmail.com

Many thanks for your consideration,

Monique Poirier

The knowledge and techniques we need to build the sustainable, biodiverse future exist, most everybody that has them though, doesn't know how to reach an audience on internet, doesn't HAVE internet, or maybe doesn't even have electricity

Fuck this whole "agriculture degree" thing I need to sit around talking to random farmers and gardeners over 55 who don't have email addresses.

...have you looked? Because this knowledge is available all over the internet, for free.

Just...just go to YouTube and look up gardening.

'most everybody who has these skills isn't online' is a -wild- take.

Ok but like. What the fuck is there to do on the internet anymore?

Idk when I was younger, you could just go and go and find exciting new websites full of whatever cool things you wanted to explore. An overabundance of ways to occupy your time online.

Now, it's just... Social media. That's it. Social media and news sites. And I'm tired of social media and I'm tired of the news.

Am I just like completely inept at finding new things or has the internet just fallen apart that much with the problems of SEO and web 3.0 turning everything into a same-site prison?

Long collection of resources under the cut.

ALSO you should consider browsing Virtual Pet List and seeing if there are any pet sites you might be interested in playing. There is a whole genre of browser games right under your nose

Another one that I just found recently is this, which is a whole collection of blogs, organized by topic!

I hope yall see the vision with the shoelace belt also yea I know his hand looks goofy but we ball

LOOK AT THIS VASE I MADE IN MY CERAMCS CLASS IT WAS REALLY HARD AND THERE WERE SO MANY RISKS BUT I DID IT AND NOTHING WENT WRONG ITS A MIRACLE (also i know NOW it looks like ferrofluid, but it was actually not the intention from the start LOL) If you're curious as to the inspo + process, it was inspired by this minoan jug on the left! It was made in two parts, and was originally supposed to be sleeker, longer, and smaller spikes but uhh look I'm not very good at ceramics LOL. So the size of the spikes and the more round shape.. already not on purpose, a byproduct of my lack of skill.
