From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wampanoag people are indigenous Algonquian peoples of the Northeastern Woodlands, who lived throughout northeast North America and are currently tribally based in present-day Massachusetts and Rhode Island with descendants spread throughout the world.

Many Wampanoag people are enrolled in two federally recognized tribes: the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head in Massachusetts.
