Testimonial

First, I would like to thank the Reparations Collective for your ongoing support to the Chaubunagungamaug Nipmuck tribe. Your contribution was immensely important to our 2024 Nipmuc Cultural Celebration and PowWow in these ways:

1. Provided opportunity for funding our marketing, outreach efforts to the tribal community and general community about the upcoming events; 

2. Secured costs for transportation and honorarium for Head event cultural speakers, and traditional drummers and dancers. This was important for making the event culturally relevant, while allowing it to be entertaining to our non-Indian guest; and

3. Supported the purchase of new equipment for the operation of the first Nipmuc Hunting and Fishing club ice-fishing event. This included ice-griping spikes, fishing rods, and other equipment needs.
