Michaela Chesin Provincetown Banner PROVINCETOWN — Should Race Point be renamed Meeshaun Point in honor of the original Wampanoag village of the region? The Wampanoag Advisory Committee thinks so, and it wants the Provincetown Select Board to support the idea. The support of the board would be the first step in a lengthy federally run process, according to town, state, and federal officials. “Meeshaun is the original Wampanoag name of the village that was there in what is now P-Town,” Wampanoag Advisory Committee chairman Linda Coombs said. Meeshaun was a part of the Wampanoag Nation’s 69 villages that spread throughout eastern Massachusetts and eastern Rhode Island. The name was given by Natives who lived on the land for over 12,000 years, she added.
