I am researching my genealogy and have reason to believe that I may be a proud Nipmuc. I have discovered in the course of my research a Report issued to the Governor and his Council of Massachusetts dated March 8, 1861. This report is a census of various tribes of Indians in Massachusetts. This report includes the ages and names as well as the tribe. I would be willing to share with everyone just for postage and copying cost. I do not have a computer contected to the internet. I have use of my girl friends from time to time. I will be contacting the NIAC and providing them with this information. A great website. Many our INDIAN SPIRITS GUIDE ALL OF US.

I too am a NIPMUC and reaching out to NIPMUCS where ever you are to let people know that we still exist. It is up to us to pass along our great wisdom and quests to the next seven generations to come. Whether we are federally recognized or not, they can't take the rich NIPMUC blood that runs in our veins or our deep rooted heritage that unite NIPMUCS where ever you live, from NATICK to NEW HAVEN. WE ARE HERE, WE ARE STRONG, and FUNCTIONING AS ONE PEOPLE.

To Susan Stephens (SUE4711) Unfortunately the answer to your question about Zara Cisco Brough is that she left us a few years ago, and is now with her Mother Sarah Cisco. Zara was my cousin and she is missed by everyone who ever had the pleasure to meet her. She was a wonderful person, I tried to email you but there was no email address to write to you. If I can be of any help please contact me. Sandie

I HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF MY DAILY WALKS INTO THE WOODS TO SEE WHAT NATURE WAS LIKE DURING MY YOUTH. IT IS TOO BAD THE WHTE MAN DIDN'T RESPECT THIS EARTH. WOULD APPRECIATE MORE INFORMATION ON YOUR TRIBE AND IF THERE ARE STILL NATIVE AMERICANS IN WEBSTER AND DOUGLAS MASSACHUSETTS.

Just sent another short paper to Tara on the location of Wabbaquaset and Quinebaug groups. A new book has been placed into circulation on Native American geneological searches taking place at the present time, and some of there findings. When it goes public, it will sell for approx. $19.00, There is a pre-publication sale price of about $14.00. Contact Marcella Pasay at the Killingly Historical Society, in Danielson, CT for more information. The holidays will soon be upon us. I hope that we all have enjoyable ones and that we share the old stories with those around us. As Fire Hawk has told us, gifting is one of the two greatest rules that we must live by. These are the giving times, and we all must share.

Anyone looking for location of Nipmuck homesites in the Northeast CT area should browse throught the pre-civil war issues of the Windham, Putnam and Killingly newspapers. Also there are some interesting articles in the Boston Newsletter of the 17th century. Tara Prindle, and by now, Joan Luster have copies of some of the research that I have uncovered. Members of NIAC who are familiar with my situation will be happy to know that the amputation went smoothly, and the other leg has been fitted for a smaller brace, which will last for at least six months. They have also placed me on an experimental drug treatment program which should increase my activity level and lengthen my life expectancy. Gets better all the time.

Hi, I am from Boston, which is not far, and now do work with the indigenous people of Nicaragua, but wierdly enough I in some ways went there because I have always wondered about the natives of the eastern woodlands, where I am from. I was wondering if there was any sort of formal or informal way of visiting the Nipmuc. Thanks, Sincerely, Caleb

Greetings! I am a teacher of a fourth grade class in Groton Massachusetts. We have just spent the last three weeks studying the cultures of the native people and the English Puritans who lived around Groton in the 1600's. Our last week was spent studying King Philip's war in which Groton was destroyed. After studying the war and both cultures, my fourth graders came up, on their own, with these 1670's suggestions for a peaceful solution to that horrible war: 1) Divide Massachusetts between the English and the Native Peoples. Pay any tribe who loses land as a result of the division. 2) No culture may buy land from another culture. 3) Make the English build better livestock fences. 4) Make capital punnishment illegal. If someone from one culture murders someone from another, they can be imprisioned, but not executed. 5) No culture can go on another culture's side without permission. 6) Have many festivals were rituals from both cultures are shared. 7) Have guards from both cultures work together at the boarder between both sides to keep peace. Do you think these solutions would have made the native people of Massachusetts happy in 1675? We learned that when the English of Groton helped attack the Narragansett people in December 1675, they destroyed the village and killed women and children. Later in March of 1676, when Nipmuc warrior Apequinsah (John Monaco) attacked and destroyed Groton, he spared all the English women and children. Many people in this town (though not in my class) are related to the early English Puritans. Are there Nipmuc people who would like to talk about this terrible war and how it still affects both My class is willing to listen. Dan Meharg - teacher, Prescott Elementary School

I see you have a few pages on the net Sara. I just came from one on AOL where you calmed down some angry people discussing the rights of whites. You have done a good job and I hope you continue. I appreciate the ability to connect with my nipmuck roots on line. My Family has been tracing our heritage in the very recent past and have found a wealth of information regarding who we are/came from. I am not as versed in these matters as others in my family but will be one day. May all find their true roots and rest in their heritage as a people and as a person. R.H.

I'm doing some research on the ecological value of buffer zones to competing groups. For example, a buffer zone existed between the Chippewa and Sioux tribes in Wisconsin/Minnesota when they were at war from the 1780s to the 1850s. This buffer zone produced a deer refuge which provided a prey reservoir of deer for the tribes. When the tribes made peace, they occupied the buffer zone, depleted the deer, and famine resulted. As I understand it, the name Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg in Webster, Massachusetts means "You fish on your side, I fish on my side, nobody fish in the middle", in the language of the Nipmucs. Could it be that the circumstances at Lake Char... also produced a refuge and resevoir of fish? I would appreciate any information and/or thoughts that you are willing to share on this matter. Thank you.

Fantastic site. I have been interested in learning how to use matural materials that the natives did, but the techniques have been self taught, so far. I have made reproductions of pottery and clay beads using a method similar to the one you present here. The patterns you present for moccasins and the instructions for their construction are accurate and easy to follow. This site has something of interest to anyone interested in nearly any aspect of native technology EXCEPT: architecture! How can one construct a lodge, wikiup or a tipi? Will a section dealing withe this subject be included? In any case, thank you for this site.

Some years ago I did an MA Thesis at UMass on the 'Indian Praying Towns of New England. Some were Nipmuc, the biggest being Hassenamesit (now Hassenamisco) near Grafton, Mass. Did you know the first bible ever printed in north America was an Indian bible, and that the whole thing was typeset, I think with wooden type, by a Nipmuc known as James the Printer? It was typeset at Harvard College, which was first a school for both Whites and Indians, and it was an arduous job. The translation was by the missionary John Elliot, about 1634. They worked together to produce this bible. Back in 1968 or 9 I discovered Hassenamisco still existed and visited there, and met a wonderful Nipmuck woman, Zara Ciscoe Brough. She turned out to be a direct descendant of James the Printer! And what's more, an old man, last name Elliot, was visiting her. He turned out to be the descendant of John Elliot. Said their families were friends down through the centuries! The bible, one of the few remaining, can be viewed in Widener Library at Harvard. Is Zara still on this earth? I heard she wasn't... She had many great stories, and had me out to visit several weekends. Glad to find this site.

Hello! Joan Luster told me about this site, and I wanted to stop in and say hello.

This looks great and I hope you have plenty of visitors to your site. take care and good luck, Shawn Parker P.S.

I am finding this web site very interseting although what I was looking for was information about totem poles of the North west coast
