Native Ancestors return to Deer Island
From Katherine Perry | 05:04
At the end of October, Native Americans from around Massachusetts gathered to memorialize the tragic events that passed at Deer Island, one of the Boston Harbor Islands, more than three centuries ago. Ancestors of the survivors made up a crew taking a "sacred paddle"; a fleet of traditional canoes, or mishoons, was making a 20 mile journey down the Charles River and out to Deer Island, following the path the Nipmuc people were forced along in late October of 1675 Don't know what I'm talking about? Well, you're not alone.

From Katherine Perry | 05:32

In Plymouth, Massachusetts, birthplace of Thanksgiving, that’s what one chef is up against every day. Katherine Perry visited Plimoth Plantation, where it’s one woman’s job to bring culinary history to life.
