The Wampanoag showed the Pilgrims how to dig for
American eels (Anguilla Rostrata) hibernating in the mud for the 1st .
These eels were once numerous but are now endangered due to damming, pollution, and habitat destruction.

An old sketch of an American eel for the Thanksgiving-themed as eels were among the fish eaten by the Wampanoag people of Massachusetts. While eels were once abundant along the Atlantic coast, they - like other migratory fish - were impacted by dams.

This week's theme is special to me. We are ending our 3rd year of the hashtag and beginning our 4th! I can't believe how much this community has grown. I begin each year drawing an Opah and I hope you join me in this tradition.
