| Summary |
"The Wampanoags in the Seventeenth Century: An Ethnohistorical Survey" by Catherine Marten is a historical account written in the late 20th century. It explores the culture, demographics, and historical circumstances of the Wampanoag tribe during the period they interacted with European colonists, particularly the Pilgrims in Plymouth. This work aims to fill the gaps in ethnographic information regarding the Wampanoags, offering insights into their way of life before and during European contact. The opening of this study presents important contextual information, explaining the purpose of the text as a comprehensive guide for understanding Wampanoag culture, initially intended for staff at Plimoth Plantation. Marten addresses the historical neglect of southeastern New England tribes in anthropological studies and highlights the Wampanoags as a significant example for understanding indigenous culture during the 17th century. The text outlines the early interactions between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoags, setting the stage for a deeper examination of their societal structure, language, and the impact of European contact on their way of life.
