Reel Wamps is making a correction to the previous post. David Pocknett was engaged in verbal battle with CeddieLou. It’s the annual confrontation between the two because David Pocknett cannot contain himself when Ceddie Lou starts “Playing Indian.” We were correct that the flair up was over the manner in which CeddieLou was presiding over the 151 pow wow. The F–BOMB was just a flyin‘. Every year everyone, especially CeddieLou’s own family, the Tobeys, complain bitterly about how ” awful he is” as the MC. And every year he puts himself front and center.
Unfortunately, the mainstream media did a poor job of showcasing the Mashpee. On top of it all Mashpee Wampanoag learned of a new naming cerimony and it was laid out in the paper. You make someone a regalia, give them a hug and give them an Indian name. Great way to preserve traditional heritage eh? Wow. Its come to this.
Out of 15 people in the photogallery of the CCT, only 2 were Mashpee. The caption for the drummers said an Aquinnah was drumming with Mashpee Wampanoags. That was not correct either. Oh well. It was probably to hot to stay out there too long.
