LAND BACK- Priceless. While we continue to use community spaces in Amherst, what we would really like are powwow grounds gifted back to our communities. Due to the Native diaspora and the nature of being a university-heavy area, there is a strong intertribal community here in addition to the Nipmuc people, whose land this traditionally belongs to. We are asking any community members who have access to funds for purchasing, or land itself that is flat (for dancing), accessible (so that our community members can get here using public transit), and within the Five College area (to keep it local), to please consider reaching out to us at: Odenongpowwow@gmail.com
