-2- <br />Richard gave us an update on the proposed River Signs. He has been advised by <br />Catherine that she thinks one sign — two languages — will be all that is necessary to <br />mark the Mashpee Rivers. Rosemary felt that he should check out whether or not we <br />can put up signs on State Roads vs Town Roads, specifically, Route 130, Route 151, <br />and Route 28. When Richard can provide the Wampanoag language translations to <br />Catherine, she will have them made up at an approximate cost of $350 per sign. <br />Richard also informed us that he had met with Bill McKay to discuss the Keeter <br />genealogy, and he met Bill's sister Lucinder who visited the Archives. <br />Richard also has an interest in placing historical banners along Mashpee's Historic <br />District which would be affixed to telephone poles, similar to what is on display in other <br />Cape Cod towns. We discussed it, and the associated costs, and decided to reconsider <br />at a future time. <br />Since we had a guest, Meredith Harris, who has been working on ideas about a piece of <br />stained glass with Joan Tavares -Avant, she was invited to give her presentation on <br />what the artwork would look like. She explained it would have several symbols of <br />Wampanoag culture...She had hoped to create a round glass window hanging that <br />could be put on display at the Archives. Rosemary objected to the project because she <br />feels that the Archives is not a Museum. Meredith has already applied for an Arts and <br />Culture State grant to pay for the artwork. She will explore what other Town buildings <br />might be interested in displaying her glass artwork. We all agreed that the samples that <br />she showed to us were beautiful, and that she certainly is a very talented artist in that <br />media. <br />Rosemary sent in an email about the previous stained glass artwork that we have which <br />was a gift from Robert Lynch and his wife who made it for us. It has not been put on <br />display because Ava felt that the American Indian depicted is an inaccurate depiction of <br />Mashpee Wampanoags, because of the western headdress. <br />We briefly discussed our Open House on October 10, 2022. We think that it was <br />enjoyed by over 60 attendees. Richard has been announcing the event successfully <br />with social media sites. <br />Ava set the date of November 17t" for our next meeting. <br />Ava made a motion to adjourn the meeting, and Richard seconded it, and all approved, <br />at 5:30pm. <br />Respectfully submitted <br />Ann Graham, Sr. Clerk <br />
