MASHPEE WAMPANOAG TRIBAL COUNCIL

MASHPEE, MA

The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal Council is a Native American tribal government located in Mashpee, Massachusetts. It was established in 1976 and is recognized by the federal government as a sovereign nation. The council is led by a chairman and vice-chairman, who are elected by the tribal members.

The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe has a long history in the region, dating back thousands of years. They were one of the first Native American tribes to have contact with European settlers in the 1600s. Today, the tribe has over 2,600 enrolled members, with many living in Mashpee and surrounding towns.

The council is responsible for managing the affairs of the tribe, including economic development, social services, education, and cultural preservation. They operate a number of programs and services, including a health clinic, housing assistance, and education and job training programs.

In recent years, the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe has faced challenges to their sovereignty and land rights. In 2020, the Trump administration moved to disestablish the tribe's reservation, but the decision was later reversed by a federal court. The tribe continues to fight for their rights and recognition as a sovereign nation.
