To any SHEAR “old-timers” who might remember me from back in the `90s, any scholars interested in Black, Native American, or “racially ambiguous” abolitionists and anti-racism activists of the eras late colonial, antebellum, post-Reconstruction and early 20th century, James Easton, Hosea Easton, Benjamin F. Roberts, and William Edgar Easton:
Thank you for the suggestions, Renate.
Also Kevin Smith, curator at the Haffenreffer Museum at Brown would likely be a good resource: https://www.brown.edu/research/facilities/haffenreffer-museum/index.php?...
You might try contacting Marge Bruchac at UPenn:

I can suggest the following literature:
Kerber, Jordan E., ed. 2006. Cross-Cultural Collaboration: Native Peoples and Archaeology in the Northeastern United States. Lincoln, NE, London, UK: University of Nebraska Press.
You could also contact the archaeological division of the National Park Service and Plimouth Plantation.
Best, Renate Bartl
I am an AmeriCorps service member and currently work at an environmental nonprofit in southeastern Massachusetts. As part of my service work, I am collaborating with local Wampanoag groups so as to infuse the nonprofit's conservation mission with indigenous knowledge. One of the groups I'm working with, called the Indigenous Resources Collaborative (IRC), is embarking on an endeavor that involves correlating historical Wampanoag cultural artifacts they have in their possession (for use in an educational exhibit) with native archaeological sites in Massachusetts.
