about the mass. center for native American awareness, inc.
After seeing the needs of the Native American/Indigenous communities and families in the State, Burne Stanley-Peters and her late husband John Slow Turtle Peters founded the Massachusetts Center for Native American Awareness. It was incorporated in April 1989 as a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our mission is to provide support and opportunities to Native American residents, and to address racial injustices, stereotypes and misconceptions about our Native Americans /Indigenous population.
With a seven-member Leadership Team and a five-member Advisory Council, we accomplish our mission through (a) the development of cultural and spiritual enrichment opportunities that bring intergenerational families together to explore the legacies of racial oppression through the teachings and transmission of culture and knowledge; (b) a youth empowerment program that offers leadership development opportunities for our youth, our next generation, to become strong leaders and have a voice in our society that will impact their future; (c) a Needy Fund that assists families and students with basic needs, emergency financial needs, and educational expenses so they will have a better quality of life and will go on to become useful citizens in their community; and through (d) public forums and social change initiatives with the broader community that address racial injustices and stereotypes that help correct historical inaccuracies and misconceptions that continue to be perpetuated so that there is better understanding and awareness of the true history and issues of the Native Americans/Indigenous Peoples in this region.
