Our Story
The Massachusetts Center for Native American Awareness (MCNAA) was founded in 1989 by Burne Stanley-Peters and her late husband John Slow Turtle Peters. They recognized the unmet needs of Native American communities and the lack of knowledge about their culture and issues among the general public. With a mission to preserve cultural traditions and assist residents, MCNAA has become a vital resource for Native Americans in Massachusetts.
Impact
MCNAA has received significant grants, including a $100,000 grant from the Cummings Foundation and a $56,000 grant from the Native Youth Empowerment Fund. These funds support scholarships and youth cultural enrichment activities, addressing health, educational, and economic disparities faced by Native Americans.
