HPWT is state recognized tribe, one of Wampanoag bands. "We are members of
the Wampanoag Nation. Our homelands range from the Plymouth (Plimouth Colony)
areas to the upper parts of Cape Cod (Bourne, Sandwich and Plymouth). We have
been here for thousands of years. We have fished these waters, cultivated these
lands and raised our children here. We have been known over the years by many
names…Patuxet, Pondville, Manomet, Bournedale, Comassakumkanit and The Praying
Indians on old English maps. But we are presently known today as the Herring
Pond Wampanoag Tribe. "
