Some Grant and Funding requests cannot count them without an address. We could be losing money if we can’t count them. The U.S. 2010 Census did not include Mashpee Wampanoag as a tribe. Taking the 2020 Census has important potential to increase our funding. Additional funds came into Housing in 2017 because we updated membership numbers with HUD. U.S. 2020 Census is important for you to complete, “Shape our Future. Start Here”
Help Us Put a Face to the Name at Tribal Archives
The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal Historic Preservation Archives is in need of people from the past, and present to submit photos of tribal members. What we are asking for are photos to go along with names that we already have captured in our database. So please contact Denise Kersey, Archivist Apprentice, at 508-477-0208 ext. 196, to schedule a time that we can scan your photo. We will only need to scan your picture and will not keep it. The whole process will take at most 15 minutes. Thank you in advance for helping us grow our database.
