Manitonquat (AKA Medicine Story; born Francis Story Talbot, July 17, 1929, died July 21, 2018) was an American author of two books, and several more self-published booklets on New Age philosophy, spirituality, and community sociology. He has led workshops and rituals at the 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,[5] a nonprofit corporation created in 1990[6] and based in New Bedford, Massachusetts.[6] The group asserts a connection with the 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]
