The organization was founded by Burne Stanley-Peters and her late husband Slow Turtle. It was incorporated as a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in April 1989. Its mission is to develop and implement programs that assist needy Native American residents with basic needs, college related expenses, and cultural and spiritual enrichment as well as to increase public understanding, awareness, and appreciation of Native Americans.
The Leadership Team is comprised of seven members whose heritage is from a number of Native American nations. All Leadership Team members reside in Massachusetts and represent a range of professional backgrounds. They are: Dawn Duncan, Claudia A. Fox Tree, Kim S. Orben, Anthony Silva and Burne Stanley-Peters. There are currently two vacancies.
In April 2014, we modified our organizational structure and established an Advisory Council. The new Council is made up of supporters, both Native and non-Native who are willing to share their professional expertise to help the organization to implement programs in line with our mission, vision and strategic plan. Specifically for the 2014-15 year, the primary function of the Advisory Council is to help the Leadership Team design and develop several new cultural educational programs or projects. Members are Joyce Rain Anderson, Eva Blake and John Goff. Additional members will be added as the year goes on.
MCNAA has a general membership of over 2,500. Members live all over the country and Canada, are from all walks of life, and support the philosophy, events, and programs of MCNAA.
The Mass. Center for Native American Awareness is a 501 c (3) not-for profit organization. At this time, our funding sources come to MCNAA entirely through our direct fund raising events, the generosity of our entirely volunteer staff, MCNAA memberships, and year end donations.
