He d learned that its energy was being harnessed to power spacecraft and started to wonder about such technology s potential on Earth.  His fascination grew over the years, as did that potential.

First member of Aquinnah Wampanoag to attend Harvard Law driven by sense of community

First member of Aquinnah Wampanoag to attend Harvard Law driven by sense of community Gal Tziperman Lotan © Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff Samantha Maltais will be the first member of the Wampanoag Tribe to enroll at Harvard Law School. Samantha Maltais’ mother likes to tell the story of how her then 7-year-old grew angry over a violent raid on a smoke shop that led to the arrests of members of the Narragansett Indian Tribe. “Don’t these people know we have rights?” the child had asked. Maltais doesn’t remember asking that, but the story reflects her understanding, even at a young age, of how the law impacts day-to-day lives of Native people. She grew up on Martha’s Vineyard listening to tribal council meetings for the Aquinnah Wampanoag and to consultations with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Her mother, Cheryl Andrews-Maltais, is chairwoman of the tribe.

The waning days of Women’s History Month brought violence against women to the forefront. While March 2021 reminded us all to celebrate the trailblazing, indelible contributions of generations of American women, the news cycle also forced us to confront the misogyny ingrained in gender-bias. On March 16, six of the eight victims killed by a white male shooter in Atlanta massage parlors were Asian Americans. The murderer claimed he committed his horrific acts because he blamed the women for his sexual frustrations. These senseless murders were echoed in racially motivated assaults across our nation. Sadly, there’s a tragic connection between the violence committed against Asian American and Native American women, because they, unlike other racial groups, are more likely to be sexually assaulted by men from a different ethnic group.
