http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wampanoag

The Wampanoag(pronounced like "wahm-puh-NOH-ag") are a Native American nation which currently consists of five affiliated tribes. In 1600 the Wampanoag lived in southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, as well as within a territory that encompassed current day Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket and the Elizabeth Islands. Their population numbered about 12,000.

    Historical Wampanoag leaders included Massasoit, who met the English who described themselves as "Pilgrims", Massasoit's oldest son Wamsutta (known by the English as King Alexander) who died under mysterious circumstances after visiting with English colonial administrators in Plymouth, his second son Metacom or Metacomet (King Philip), who initiated the war against the English known as King Philip's War in retaliation for the death of his brother at the hands of the English, Sachem Weetamoo of the Pocasset, a woman who supported Metacom and drowned crossing the Taunton River fleeing the English, Sachem Awashonks of the Sakonnet, a woman who at first fought the English but then changed sides, and the man Annawan, a war leader. Other important Wampanoag were Samoset, who first met the English, and Squanto, who was kidnapped, sold into slavery, lived in England, spoke fluent English, and later taught the English to plant indigenous crops after their first difficult winter.

In 1616, John Smith erroneously referred to the entire Wampanoag confederacy as the Pakanoket. Pakanoket continued to be used in the earliest colonial records and reports. The Pakanoket tribal seat was located near present-day Bristol, Rhode Island. Wampanoag means ‘’Eastern People.’’ The word Wapanoos was first seen on Adriaen Block's 1614 map and was the earliest European representation of Wampanoag territory. Other synonyms include ‘’Wapenock, Massasoit’’ and ‘’Philip's Indians’’

     The Mashpee group lived in the area now known as  Cape Cod , in Massachusetts. The Wampanoag were semi-sedentary, with seasonal movements between fixed sites in present-day southern New England. The three sisters, corn (maize), beans and squash were the staples of their diet, supplemented by fish and game. More specifically, each community had authority over a well-defined territory from which the people derived their livelihood through a seasonal round of fishing, planting, harvesting and hunting. Because southern New England was thickly populated, hunting grounds had strictly defined boundaries.

      Land was hereditary and descent was reckoned matrilinealy, wherein both hereditary status and claims to land were passed down through women. Mothers with claims to specific plots of land used for farming or hunting passed those claims to their female descendants, irrespective of their marital status.

     The work of making a living was organized on a family level. Families gathered together in the spring to fish, in early winter to hunt and in the summer they separated to cultivate individual planting fields. Boys were schooled in the way of the woods, where a man's skill at hunting and ability to survive under all conditions were vital to his family's well being. Women were trained from their earliest years to work diligently in the fields and around the family wetu, a round or oval house that was designed to be easily dismantled and moved in just a few hours.

     Native women were responsible for up to seventy-five percent of all food production. Since the Wampanoag relied primarily on goods garnered from this kind of work, women had important socio-political, economic, and spiritual roles in their communities. The Wampanoag were organized into a confederation, where a head sachem, or political leader, presided over a number of other sachems. The English often referred to the sachem as “king,” a title that misled more than it clarified since the position of a sachem differed in many ways from that of a king. Sachems were bound to consult not only their own councilors within their tribe but also any of the “petty sachems,” or people of influence, in the region. They were also responsible for arranging trade privileges as well as protecting their allies in exchange for material tribute. Both women and men could hold the position of sachem, and women were sometimes chosen over close male relatives.

Pre-marital sexual experimentation was accepted, although once couples opted to marry, the Wampanoag expected fidelity within unions.  In addition, polygamy was practiced among the Wampanoag, although monogamy was the norm. Even within Wampanoag society where status was constituted within a matrilineal, matrifocal society, some elite men could take several wives for political or social reasons. Multiple wives were also a path to and symbol of wealth because women were the producers and distributors of corn and other food products.    (This is a very long article, but gives some insight about the tribe. )  

NOTE: This section is close to the bottom of the page:

Mashpee

With the exception of the Wampanoag groups on the coastal islands, who had stayed neutral through the war (or King Philip's War, July 21,1675 to  August 12, 1676) , the Wampanoag of the mainland were resettled with the Saconnet, or brought, together with the Nauset, into the praying towns in Barnstable County. In Massachusetts, Mashpee, on Cape Cod, was the biggest reservation. In 1660 the Indians were allotted about 50 square miles there, and beginning in 1665 they governed themselves with a court of law and trials. The area was integrated into the district of Mashpee in 1763, but in 1788 the state revoked their ability to self-govern, which it considered a failure. It then appointed a committee to supervise, consisting of five white-only members. A certain degree of self-government was returned to the Indians in 1834, and although the Indians were far from completely autonomous, one could say that this time the experiment was successful. Their land was divided up in 1842, with 2,000 acres (8 km²) of their 13,000 acres (53 km²) distributed in 60 acre parcels to each family. Many laws attest to constant problems of encroachments by whites, who stole wood from the reservation. It was a large region, once rich in wood, fish and game, and therefore desirable for the whites. Some had trouble ignoring the constantly growing community of non-whites, and so the Mashpee Indians had more conflicts with their white neighbors than the other Indian settlements in the state.

    

Answer 2

I would be quite happy to help you, if you could post some information, you can edit your question and give the information in order for the researchers to help you. There are lots of researchers who would be quite happy to help you.

Answer 3

It's a bit hard to know if we can help you without knowing exactly what it is that you need.

Post some details and if you are lucky someone may help you with a look up or at least point you in the right direction.

Ultimately though genealogy is like any other hobby, if you are going to get into it seriously it is going to cost you money.

On the bright side there are many excellent resources available that are quite reasonably priced when you consider how difficult it was to research before the internet offered us these options.
