Wampanoag people
As a result, the UAINE organized an annual National Day of Mourning to be held in the same location. The objective is an effort to educate people about the history of the Wampanoag people, raise awareness about the continued misrepresentation of Native American people and the colonial experience and the belief that people need to be educated about what happened rather than the national myth. The protest has also been used as a platform to address ongoing and contemporary struggles, as well as historical ones.
