Project Overview
Students in the 8th grade at Herberg Middle School are engaging in a year long civic action project related specifically to our local Stockbridge Munsee Mohican Native American history. The objective is to inform students and have them actively take part in Native American reparations in and around our immediate area. This connects to our Massachusetts State Standards 8th grade Civics Project and will help support students in their understanding of civic action as they will later take on their own project focused on an issue they identify as a needed change within the community.
The family clans of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band are the bear, wolf, turtle,and turkey.
The darker shaded area is the land of the Mahhicannituck. The Muh-he-con-ne-ok
