- 2 - <br /> woodshed. We will have to apply for the building permit, and then Catherine will <br /> proceed with putting in the foundation. She is also trying to procure the shingles for us. <br /> Richard presented us with a photo of proposed signs for marking the rivers in Mashpee. <br /> He will present them to the Select Board and the Conservation Commission to get their <br /> approval. They will resemble street signs, but the background color would be blue. We <br /> had a discussion about whether or not we would include an additional sign in the <br /> Wampanoag language for each sign identifying the rivers. Brian Hyde expressed his <br /> opinion that he felt it was not necessary to include two signs, one in English and one in <br /> the Wampanoag language. Ava felt that it was expressing the cultural diversity in <br /> Mashpee, and therefore it would be of interest to the Community and visitors alike. <br /> Richard made a motion that we send two letters, one to the Select Board and the other <br /> to the Conservation Commission for notification and verification re marking the rivers. <br /> Brian Hyde seconded the motion, and it was approved unanimously. <br /> Nancy discussed other Cape Cod one-room schoolhouses. A suggestion was made <br /> that it might be interesting to contact other towns to see if we could learn about the <br /> other one-room schoolhouses. Richard and Nancy discussed that the Cuttyhunk one <br /> was the only one-room school that was still operational before the Pandemic in 2020. <br /> Nancy discussed that she had been contacted by Mary Kay Fox, previously on the <br /> Board of Directors of the Friends of the Mashpee National Wildlife Refuge, who is <br /> interested in turning over their records to the Archives. Ava would like Nancy to contact <br /> Mary to find out if she has the approval of the present head of the Board of Directors to <br /> get their approval before we proceed. <br /> Rosemary sent in two emails about her present research projects. The first was a <br /> summary of her research on the Baptist Church, and the second was regarding a <br /> project she is working on with Angela Marcellino, granddaughter of Stephen A. Peters. <br /> Angela would like to use a map of Mashpee and expressed concerns about copyright <br /> issues. Rosemary will help her with the map and other pertinent information that she <br /> may want to use for the publication of her new cook book. <br /> We discussed a date for the Annual Historical Preservation Awards Ceremony and <br /> settled on mid-June. We should be considering who to nominate for the 2023 Award, <br /> and the decision on who the recipient would be should be settled by year end. <br /> Celebration of Indigenous People's Day - Richard would like to bring up a lot of the <br /> photos in the basement at the Archives that have not yet been put on display. He would <br /> like to have a Sub-Committee to work on renumbering all the photos. We would also <br /> need to arrange for light refreshments. We have a lot of Popponesset photos that we <br /> could display. Brian Hyde volunteered to write a letter to the Popponesset Inn <br /> expressing that the Mashpee Historical Commission supports keeping the Inn, due to its <br /> historical significance. <br />
