The Last Vape Hit

Native people inhabited the Connecticut River Valley of western Massachusetts for more than 10,000 years. It is the homeland of many First People, all related to one another. They are called the Sokoki, Pocumtuck, Nonotuck, Woronoco, and Agawam.

Many other tribes visited and still visit this Native homeland. Among them are the Abenaki, Nipmuck, Wampanoag, Narragansett, Mohegan, Pequot, Mohican, and Mohawk. These tribes are recognized today by states or the federal government as sovereign nations.

Our guest on this encore interview from 2022 is Jennifer Lee, Northern Narragansett Educator and Board member of the Nolumbeka Project [https://nolumbekaproject.org/], an organization dedicated to honoring the Northeastern Tribal Heritage of the Connecticut River Valley. The word Nolumbeka is Abenaki for “the calm waters between the rapids.” 

Included are two excerpts from the video series "Indigenous Voices," as well as commentary on the Wampanoag view of the story behind the Thanksgiving holiday.

Historically, tribes gathered in this valley to trade, to fish, to plant, to participate in sacred ceremonies. The sad fact remains that during the wars waged in the colonial period, the Native people were driven from this valley. They blended into the Abenaki, Nipmuck, and Mohican tribes across the Northeast. Often, they integrated into the settler communities. Some were herbal doctors, basket makers, and carvers. They dressed like their European descendant neighbors, but kept the fire of their culture alive.


Jennifer Lee, Grandmother, bark basket maker, and culture bearer, provides histories, insights and perspectives of Native Peoples of the Northeast. Jennifer grew up without knowledge of her Native ancestry which compelled her to seek out the true history and culture of the Northeast Woodlands Indigenous Peoples as an independent researcher. For roughly 30 years, she has held classes in her Eastern Conical Wigwam to tell the stories of Northeastern Native Peoples and share her cultural knowledge. She is co-producer with the Nolumbeka Project of the 10-part film series “Indigenous Voices'' [https://nolumbekaproject.org/indigenous-voices/]. She has been a bark basket maker [http://Barkbasketsbyjlee.com] for 40 years.

LYRICS
You know what? Little Cotton Candy here is right
And, if I do say so myself

This town is not a nice place for little fillies all alone
There are lots of twists and corners that could lead to the unknown
Let me guide your way and I'll be sure to help you through
You could really use a friend out here and luckily for you

I'm the friend that you need when you're lost and don't know what to do
I'm your pal, your amigo
Useful and resourceful, too
And my help you concede is a plus guaranteed
You can call, I'll come running, just follow my lead

'Cause I'm the friend you need
He's a friend
Quite a friend
He's a friend, indeed

You need a bud to spot the danger, a pal to stop the creep
A chum and not a stranger to assist
You need a bro who is cunning that can help you take the leap
A friend who knows what's lying in the mist

Don't fear these darkened alleys
They're scary, yes, I know
Why you could use a friend to protect you wherever you go?
And such a dazzling beauty, covered in dirt and muck
But now, your fate is changing
Now, you are in luck

'Cause I'm the friend that you need when you're lost and don't know what to do
I'm your pal, your amigo
Lookin' out for friends like you
And my help you concede is a plus guaranteed
Just call, I'll come running, we'll say "It's agreed"

Here, tell Verko "My place, 20 minutes"
I've got something that will magically erase all my debt

'Cause I'm the friend you need
He's a friend
Quite a friend
He's a friend, indeed
