Lee Roscoe will give a presentation followed by Q & A on her new book Wampanoag Art for the Ages, Traditional and Transitional. This is the first and only book of its kind, and was vetted by tribal elders. The book looks at lifeway through the arts of this Algonquian Cape Cod tribe which greeted the first colonists. It starts in the wetu and goes on to look at pottery, wampum, clothing, adornment, matting, twining, finger weaving, painting and more with some of the foremost Wampanoag creators including: Annawon Weeden, Ramona Peters (Nosapocket), Elizabeth and Jonathan James-Perry, Julia Marden, Robert Peters, Emma Jo Mills Brennan, and Mother Bear.

Roscoe is currently a correspondent for Artscope and Provincetown magazines. She is the author of Dreaming Monomoy's Past, Walking its Present. Roscoe's plays include The Mooncusser's Tale, WOMR-FM, Impossible?, Eventide Theater; and most recently Four Plays for a Planet in Peril, a film. The Warning premiered at the Chelsea Film Festival NYC.
