Protestors, taking a stance against Kennedy’s anti-vaccine stances, met the secretary outside the airport as well as at a couple of locations along the way. As Kennedy’s motorcade passed through where lower Moshup Trail meets State Road in Aquinnah, an estimated 100 protesters yelled “Quack!” and closed in on the vehicles, forcing the black SUVs to slow down as they passed by sign-waving Islanders. The secretary was visiting the Vineyard as a part of an annual meeting that has been held in a different tribal nation each year. It’s sponsored by an advisory group made up of tribal representatives from across the country called the Secretary’s Tribal Advisory Committee and the group advises Cabinet members and other policy makers to support tribal members and causes. This is the first time this meeting is being held on the Vineyard.
