Dear Friends,

We, the Board of Directors of the Nolumbeka Project, Inc., are pleased to announce that we are now the caretakers of the forty-one acre Wissatinnewag property in Greenfield, MA. The Friends of Wissatinnewag blended into the Nolumbeka Project and the deed to the property was transferred from the Friends of Wissatinnewag, Inc. to the Nolumbeka Project, Inc.  We are eager to move forward on several short and long term projects and welcome your support.

The Nolumbeka Project, Inc. is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, incorporated in 2009, dedicated to the preservation of the history of Native Americans/American Indians of New England through educational programs, art, history, music, heritage seed preservation and cultural events. We are actively building, maintaining and expanding an historical archive research library for use by the Tribes and Educators of the Northeast. This project has received funding from Credit Data Services, Inc. at Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts.

Returning to Wissatinnewag

February 18, 2013

Dear Friends,

Yesterday we went to the Wissatinnewag property for the first time
since long before it was put under our stewardship in February. It
felt wonderful to return and feel the peace and promise. The land
needs our help in so many ways. Joe and Howard will assess the
priorities. Our goal is to have the property ready for a public event
in mid to late May. If you can offer assistance please contact us
at nolumbekaproject@gmail.com and give us your phone number.
Joe will then contact you.

Thank you.

The Board of Directors, Nolumbeka Project
