We've Been Here: Massasoit Ousamequin and the Pokanoket Nation by The Lady J (2021)

The Lady J is a Multimedia Spectacle Generator, creating disruptive & humorous work that prioritizes cultural competency as a pillar for successful learning in the classroom. “We've Been Here: Massasoit Ousamequin and the Pokanoket Nation” features a 3/4 view of American sculptor Cyrus Dallin’s statue of the great chief, which is sited in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The Lady J worked with the current Sachem Tracey Brown on the background, which is based on the significance of Wampum with Native American tribes. Massasoit Ousamequin’s remains are buried in nearby Burr’s Hill Park.
