Manitonquat (

Rainbow Gatherings held by the Rainbow Family.[3] Since the 1970s, he has toured the United States and Europe teaching and lecturing on the adaptation of the application of philosophy to modern problems of society, community, and relationships.[4]

Manitonquat was a member of the Assonet Band,

Wampanoag Nation but is not recognized by the state[7] or Federal Government as a tribe, and has been criticized for not requiring proof of Wampanoag heritage as a condition of membership.[8] Manitonquat states in his biographical notes and publicity materials that he is a spiritual elder of the band.[9][10][11] He was associated with the prominent German intentional community ZEGG[12] and the "peace research village" Tamera in Portugal.[13]

Teachings

Manitonquat taught that individualistic society is a source of unhappiness, and that cities are dehumanizing for their residents. He argued that it is better to live in small groups, with each group able to define its own rules and practices. He advocated for self-sufficient and environmentally-friendly communities.[14]

He said "We're creating another world... The basic thing is: We're all equal. The basic thing is: We love this world we're on. We are the next spiritual transformation of humankind."[15]

Rainbow Gatherings

Manitonquat had described his involvement in early Rainbow Gatherings as being important to the development of his beliefs. Describing an early gathering, he said "People stayed together all day on that mountain. We fasted and remained in silence until, sometime after noon, someone started singing an Arapaho chant. All of us took up that chant to honor the traditional caretakers of that land. When we left that gathering everyone had the feeling that something very important had happened, and was happening all over the world".[16]
