Cultural Ambassadors of the Wampanoag Nation

CheeNulKa and David Pocknett

From September 19th to 29th New London is fortunate to have the Mashpee Wampanoag Cultural Advisors CheeNulKa and David Pockett working with our community.  We welcomed them with an all school assembly on the 19th and they will be working with all classes during their music class.  The Red Hawk Singers and Dancers provide a variety of formats to share the ways of the Wampanoag people. Each presentation is an educational program that includes song, dance and teachings about the virtues of humility, respect, identity and self-care.  The culmination of this residency will be a Closing Ceremony on September 29th with both Sutton and New London elementary schools. CheeNulka and David Pocknett with Grade 2
