Mission
THE NOLUMBEKA PROJECT ENVISIONS A CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY WHERE THE HISTORIES, CULTURES, AND PERSISTENCE OF NORTHEASTERN INDIGENOUS PEOPLES ARE RECOGNIZED AND CELEBRATED, AND WHERE ALL BEINGS COEXIST IN BALANCE AND RECIPROCITY. WE HOST INDIGENOUS PRESENTERS C=SHARING THEIR CULTURES AND HISTORIES AT ANNUAL GATHERINGS, AS WELL AS AT EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR THE PUBLIC AND IN SCHOOLS. WE WORK TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE THE LAND, ESPECIALLY THE ANCIENT MULTT-VILLAGES OF WHICH WISSATINNEWAG IS AN INTEGRAL PART. WE STRIVE TO SERVE AS A BRIDGE BETWEEN CULTURES AND BETWEEN PAST AND FUTURE GENERATIONS. WE WORK TO FULFILL OUR MISSION AND VISION AS NOLUMBEKA (ABENAKI), "THE CALM WATERS BETWEEN THE RAPIDS."
