Ms. Baird is the Director of Wapanoak Language Reclamation Project and has a Master's Degree in Linguistics from MIT. She has recently been awarded a MacArthur fellowship for her pioneering work in reclaiming the Wampanoag Language.
"Celebrated every Thanksgiving as the Indians who saved the pilgrims from starvation, then largely forgotten, The Wampanoag Tribes of Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard are now saying loud and clear, and in their tongue, "As Nutayunean - We Still Live Here." Spurred on by their celebrated linguist, Jessie Little Doe Baird, recent winner of a McArthur 'genius award,' the Wampanoag are bringing their language home." ~ Bullfrog Films
