Tuesday will be a historical moment in our quest to secure our ancestral lands. Beginning at 2 p.m., the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources will hold a hearing on the Mashpee Reservation Reaffirmation Act.

I want to provide this very important update to our Tribal Community. 

On Tuesday, July 24, 2018, I will be in Washington, D.C., testifying before the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources at a Legislative Hearing in support of the bipartisan legislation to protect our reservation lands here in Mashpee and Taunton!

The 97th Annual Mashpee Wampanoag Powwow will be returning home to tribal lands on Great Neck Road South next weekend after several years at Cape Cod Fairgrounds.

The tribe’s homeland brings a special meaning to the event, and the Mashpee Wampanoag Powwow Committee appropriately titled this year’s theme “A Traditional Homecoming.”

Contracted services are needed for a “Activities Coordinator” for the Native Youth in Science – Preserving our Homelands (POH) held by the Natural Resources Department of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe.  POH is a summer youth environmental science camp that combines Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and Western conventional science concepts to teach Mashpee Wampanoag tribal middle school youth about their local environment.  The Activities Coordinator will be responsible for working with the POH staff to reinforce and support the lessons taught at the camp by tribal culture keepers, visiting environmental scientists, and other guest instructors during the camp.  POH is a day camp that will be held for three days per week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) for four weeks starting July 10th and concluding August 2nd.

The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe will accept sealed bids from qualified General Contractors for the Construction of its new housing development at Meetinghouse Road, Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649.
