PEM Reads: Nothing More of this Land

Know before you go In-person event Location: Morse Auditorium Included with admission Join Joseph Lee (Aquinnah Wampanoag), author of&nbsp;Nothing More of This Land: Community, Power, and the Search&nbsp;for Indigenous Identity&nbsp;for an author talk and Q&amp;A that sparks conversations about Indigenous history and identity and raises awareness of contemporary Indigenous issues. Before Martha’s Vineyard became one of the most iconic vacation destinations in the country, it was home to the Wampanoag people. Today, as tourists flock to the idyllic beaches, the island has become increasingly unaffordable for tribal members, with nearly three-quarters now living off-island. Growing up Aquinnah Wampanoag, journalist Joseph Lee grappled with what this situation meant for his tribe. He asks how the community can continue to grow and more broadly, what it means to be Indigenous. About the Book In&nbsp;Nothing More of This Land, Lee weaves his family story into a panoramic narrative of Indigenous life around the world. He takes us from the beaches of Martha’s Vineyard to the icy Alaskan tundra, the smoky forests of Northern California to the halls of the United Nations and beyond. Along the way, he meets activists fighting to protect their land, families clashing with their own tribal leaders and communities working to reclaim tradition. Together, these stories reject stereotypes to show the diversity of Indigenous people today and chart a way past the stubborn legacy of colonialism. The author and Q&amp;A will take place from 2–3 pm, followed by a book signing and reception from 3–4 pm.
