Chappaquiddick Tribe of the Wampanoag Indian Nation

Our Tribe’s greatest challenge is resources, particularly funding, which requires us to be creative in achieving our goals. With over half of our 350 members in Massachusetts and many spread across the country, virtual platforms like Zoom and Slack have been essential for participation, but expanding access to in-person events remains a priority. We are also working to ensure our voices are heard in broader Indigenous conversations and government discussions, empowering members to take an active role. Building on the success of our tribal wellness workshops and “Wellness Wednesdays,” we will continue deepening our collective knowledge of healing practices by engaging both tribal members and external experts. A major milestone this year has been securing an office space in Massachusetts, providing a hub for connection, collaboration, and strengthening partnerships with sister tribes.
