Homelands Pow Wow 2025

Lighting the Fire: The First Homelands Pow Wow 2025!!
Dancing + Drumming + Music + Arts + Crafts + Food + Vendors
The Homelands Pow Wow is a new gathering held on the ancestral homelands of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians, in the heart of the Berkshire region of Western New England.

In this inaugural year, we are keeping the Pow Wow intentionally small—focused on building relationships with regional Indigenous communities and local neighbors, and laying a strong foundation for a celebration that will grow over time.

Our mission is to honor and reconnect the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican people with their ancestral lands. Through the annual organization of this Pow Wow, we raise funds to support travel and lodging for tribal members who wish to return to these sacred homelands. Rooted in tradition, community, and cultural resilience, our work helps ensure that the connection between the Mohican people and their lands endures for generations to come.
