Education, traditions key to healing wounds of federal recognition process  Photo courtesy David Tall Pine White By Donna Laurent Caruso, Today correspondent Story Published: Aug 23, 2009 WEBSTER, Mass. – On Sept. 5, the Nipmuc people of Massachusetts will hold a day-long educational and traditional event for tribal members, friends and the public. The federal recognition process “separated our people over time,” David Tall Pine White said. “So our focus on Sept. 5 is education and sharing as well as bringing people together. We have been divided. So we are including everything together: feast, dance, lecture.” The Commonwealth of Massachusetts recognizes the Nipmuc, but the federal recognition process is not complete. |
