Christmas Songs of My Ancestors: Native American
Continued from Christmas Songs of My Ancestors: Early American
My 9th-great grandmother was Wampanoag. She was the second wife of my 9th-great grandfather, who emigrated from England in 1651. They had four children, of which my 8th-great grandfather, born in 1674, was the youngest.

Even though some Wampanoag adopted Christianity, I have no idea about possible songs that would have been sung at Christmas. Probably none, considering that the earliest European migrants to their area were Separatists, who did not celebrate Christmas. Noteworthy, however, is that the first Bible printed in North America was printed in 1663 in the Wampanoag language.
I could find very few songs in the Wampanoag language. The closest Christmas song I could find to honor my indigenous ancestors was the Huron Carol, which is credited as being Canada’s oldest Christmas hymn. The Huron (Wyandot, Wendat, or Huron-Wendat) and Wampanoag peoples are both considered eastern woodlands peoples of North America, but their languages have different roots. Wampanoag is Algonquian in origin, while Wendat is Iroquoian. This Christmas carol is sung in the Huron-Wendat language.
