On Monday, March 15, the Mashpee Town Seal Committee will release a survey seeking public input on a new design for the seal.
In a press released issued by the committee on Friday, members stated that "Through a community-wide process including research and dialogue, we will reflect on our town’s past, present, and future. The Committee seeks input from residents to identify design priorities for the Town Seal from an array of positive characteristics and attributes including, but not limited to Mashpee’s diversity and culture, notable people, sense of community, history and landmarks, economy, natural resources, and wildlife."
Residents will have several ways to participate in the confidential survey, which will be posted online at www.mashpeema.gov on Monday. Print copies of the survey will be distributed via contactless service points at the Mashpee Library and can be printed upon request by calling the Town Manager’s office at 508-539-1401.
The survey runs through April 15.
Mashpee Town Meeting voted to redesign the seal, which replicates the Massachusetts state seal, at its May 2019 meeting. Both seals depicts a Native American man standing below an arm holding a raised sword.
"Today’s Town Seal is not reflective of Mashpee’s history and is seen as a symbol reflective of the genocide of Native People," the committee stated in its press release.
