Community Input Sought on Constitutional Reform

The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe is inviting Tribal members to take part in an upcoming Constitution Reform Community Input Session, an important step in reviewing and updating the Tribe’s governing document to better reflect the needs, values, and realities of the Nation today.

The session will be held on Wednesday, January 8, from 7:00–8:30 PM in the Tribal Council Chambers at the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Community and Government Center, 483 Great Neck Road South, Mashpee. Tribal members may also participate via Zoom through the Tribe’s website portal.

This session will focus specifically on the Preamble and Articles I, II, and III of the Constitution and is part of an ongoing effort led by the Constitution Reform Working Group to gather community feedback before any proposed changes move forward.

Community Voices Are Essential

All Tribal members are encouraged to attend, listen, ask questions, and share their perspectives. Participation—whether in person, via Zoom, or through written comments—helps ensure that any future changes are shaped by the community as a whole.

Those unable to attend may submit written questions or comments to: Constitution.Reform@mwtribe-nsn.gov

The Constitution Reform Working Group emphasizes that this is a listening session, designed to inform and engage the membership early in the process.

The future of Tribal governance is strongest when it is guided by the voices of its people. Members are encouraged to take part and help shape what comes next.
