We Still Live Here: Songs From the End of the Island

Clip: Season 13 Episode 5 | 3m 11s

The Wampanoag people are slowly recovering their original songs and myths.

Martha's Vineyard has long been known as Aquinnah -- or "the end of the island" -- in Wampanoag. Thanks to the efforts of Jessie Little Doe and her colleagues, tribal members are now able to sing songs in their original language.
