For thousands of years two distinct cultures evolved unaware of one
another's existence. Separated by what one culture called The Great Sea
and known to the other as the Atlantic Ocean, the course of each
culture's future changed irreversibly four hundred years ago. In 1620
the Mayflower delivered 102 refugees and fortune seekers from England to
Cape Cod, where these two cultures first encountered one another. The
English sought religious freedom and fresh financial opportunities. The
Natives were recovering from the Great Dying of the past several years
that left over two-thirds of their people in graves. How would they
react to one another? How might their experience shape modern
cross-cultural encounters?
