In 1897, when whaling in the Arctic, his ship the Nevarch was frozen into the ice. Belain spent sixty of his seventy-nine years at sea as a whaleman, first mate, and Captain. Hiacoome went on to be ordained and became the pastor of the Meeting House.Īquinnah Wampanoag Joseph G. Slowly, many members of the tribe followed. Pulled from the flames by one of Hiacoome's converts, he saw this as a sign and converted to Christianity. Pahkehpunnassoo himself narrowly escaped death. While Pahkehpunnassoo was fixing his chimney, a lightning bolt struck and killed his helper. On a fateful afternoon, however, all this changed. But Sachem Pahkehpunnassoo of Chappaquiddick objected to Hiacoomes' influence in his area. Hiacoome took an interest in the English-men and their ways - eventually converting to Christianity in 1643. Under a hail of arrows, Epenow dove into the water and swam to safety.Ī young Chappaquiddick Wampanoag by the name of Hiacoome is thought to have been the first native convert to Christianity on Noepe. Seeing the ship off the shores of Noepe, Epenow's cousins and brothers came out to meet it and devised a plan for Epenow's rescue. As hoped, a British expedition was commissioned to return to Noepe in search of these riches - with Epenow along as a guide. He told his captors of a great wealth of gold on the Island. Unfortunately, such kidnappings were common. He also taught us to be charitable - for when he had great stores of fish he gave of his abundance." -a tribal memberĬaptain Edward Harlow landed on Noepe in 1611 and kidnapped a Wampanoag named Epenow, bringing him back to London. From his home on the Cliffs he taught the people respect. They are imprinted with one hundred million years of history. The Aquinnah Cliffs are a sacred place to our tribe. The coals of the largest trees (which Moshup plucked up by the roots), the bones of the whales, shark's teeth, and petrified quahogs that are still found today in the Cliffs are the refuse from Moshup's table. The blood from these whales stained the clay banks of the Cliffs dark red. From near the entrance to his den on the Aquinnah Cliffs, Moshup would wade into the ocean, pick up a whale, fling it against the Cliffs to kill it, and then cook it over the fire that burned continually. In those olden times, whales came close to shore for they had not learned to fear pursuit. He also threw many whales on the coast for the supper of the Wampanoag. Moshup's favorite daily food was a broiled whale, which he usually ate whole at a meal. He was sometimes thought of as the devil by those who did not understand him. He is a benevolent being of gigantic frame and supernatural power. Moshup is believed by our tribe to be responsible for the present shapes of Martha's Vineyard, the Elizabeth Islands, Noman's Land, and Nantucket.
