Many thanks to Mascoma Bank, the Babson 2020 Fund of the Peace Development Fund, and Great River Hydro for sponsoring our webcast. We also thank Thetford Academy, the Dartmouth College Native American Studies Program, the Connecticut River Conservancy and Jack Elliot of the The Lyme Inn in Lyme, NH, for their wholehearted support of our cancelled March 14 event. We hope for an opportunity to work together in the future.

We plan another webcast for April 18, presenters to be announced. We will e-mail a similar invitation to you and keep you updated regarding our future events. If you have feedback about our premiere webcast we welcome your comments.

We wish everyone good health and safety during this interlude and look forward to seeing you again in person in the near future. We learned this closing phrase from Don Stevens, Chief of the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk – Abenaki Nation which is so fitting for these times:
Waolowzi (Be Very Well)

Our Mission

The mission of the Nolumbeka Project is to promote a deeper, broader and more accurate depiction of the history of the Native Americans/American Indians of New England before and during European contact and colonization;

To protect and preserve sites sacred to, and of historic value to, the Native Americans/American Indians of New England; to create and promote related educational opportunities, preservation projects and cultural events; and to work in partnership, as much as possible, with the tribes.

We will strive to exemplify the Native American/American Indian peoples’ respect for Mother Earth and all living beings; to be mindful of our role as caretakers for future generations; and to honor our connection to the Earth and Sky and to the Creator.
