Bringing a Living Culture Home
Lighting the Fire: The First Homelands PowWow
The Homelands PowWow is a new gathering held on the ancestral homelands of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians, in the heart of the Berkshire region of Western New England. In this inaugural year, we are keeping the PowWow intentionally small—focused on building relationships with regional Indigenous communities and local neighbors, and laying a strong foundation for a celebration that will grow over time.
Our mission is to honor and reconnect the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican people with their ancestral lands. Through the annual organization of this PowWow, we raise funds to support travel and lodging for tribal members who wish to return to these sacred homelands. Rooted in tradition, community, and cultural resilience, our work helps ensure that the connection between the Mohican people and their lands endures for generations to come.
We are a Massachusetts-based nonprofit and a recognized 501(c)(3) charitable organization. While we do not speak on behalf of the Stockbridge-Munsee Tribal Council or represent the Tribe, we are deeply honored to help create a space for connection, culture, and healing in the homelands for our community.
