For nearly 200 years these tongues have been pretty much forgotten. The two Indian nations are joining forces with a major university to reveal something very important to their cultures. Chief Wallace of the Unkechaug tribe has attracted the younger generation to this project. ]]> 2022-07-04 19:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sgaglias01_2/awqovuquplh2cfl3/wish/2236655394 sgaglias01_2 https://padlet.com/sgaglias01_2/awqovuquplh2cfl3/wish/2236658653 Not much is known nor written about the religions that the Unkechaugi people follow, however it is known that they have a strong connection with animals.

They are known for hunting various sea creatures like whales and seals. They celebrate the spirits of the waters by sacrificing the critical body parts of the animals they caught.]]> 2022-07-04 19:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sgaglias01_2/awqovuquplh2cfl3/wish/2236659773
