Grant Overview

Massachusetts' Indigenous communities face significant barriers to preserving their cultural heritage due to historical erasure and lack of representation in educational curricula. According to a 2020 report, only 12% of Massachusetts schools include Native American history in their curriculum. This oversight perpetuates the marginalization of Indigenous peoples and neglects their contributions to the state's history. The state's 32 federally recognized tribes and numerous non-federally recognized communities are disproportionately affected by this educational gap. Funding for Land Acknowledgment Initiatives in Massachusetts will support educational programs that promote awareness and respect for Indigenous history. The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has identified the need for culturally responsive educational materials, which this funding will help address. Eligible applicants include Indigenous-led organizations and educational institutions. ## Massachusetts Educational Landscape ## The funding prioritizes projects that develop curricula and resources tailored to Massachusetts' unique Indigenous cultural heritage. Unlike neighboring states, Massachusetts requires applicants to demonstrate collaboration with local tribal communities and educational institutions. ## Who Should Apply in Massachusetts ## Applicants must be Indigenous-led organizations or have a proven track record of working with Massachusetts' Indigenous communities. The application process requires a detailed project plan, budget, and letters of support from local tribal leaders. ## Implementation in Massachusetts Schools ## Successful projects will be implemented in Massachusetts schools, with a focus on regions with high concentrations of Indigenous populations, such as the Cape Cod and Islands region. This targeted approach will help address the historical erasure of Indigenous peoples in Massachusetts.
