The Native Northeast Research Collaborative (formerly The Yale Indian Papers Project) is an inclusive digital humanities endeavor that engages tribes, scholars, educators, students, and the general public in the study of the Native presence in the Atlantic Northeast.  With tribal partnerships extending throughout New England, New York, and the Mid-West, the Collaborative represents an innovative model of intercultural cooperation that brings research on Northeastern Indians into the 21st Century.

The Native Northeast Research Collaborative, with the Mashantucket Museum & Research Center, is excited to announce a year-long grant award of $189,983 from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support publication of “Common Unities: Possession, Dispossession, & Community in Tunxis Land Records, 1640-1826.” Funding comes from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 which is meant to foster activities that promote the Humanities.
 
During the grant period, NNRC Editors, Paul Grant-Costa and Tobias Glaza, and Native Editorial Assistant, Eric Maynard (Mohegan), will work with Native Community Scholars to collectively annotate and map nearly three centuries of Tunxis land records from Farmington, Connecticut.
 
Meet our NEH Native Community Scholars from the Brothertown Indian Nation and from the Stockbridge Munsee Community.



What People Are Saying
"One of the most rigorous and reliable digital databases that I have encountered in twenty years of research and teaching. The editors, drawing on an extensive network of advisors and consultants, know the landscape of Native New England well." -- Lisa Brooks, author of Our Beloved Kin: A New History of King Philip's War
"An innovative and personalized approach to document digitization, sharing and storage. True trailblazers, the editors take the time to get to know each indigenous community on a personal  level.  Easy access to historical documents helping us to preserve our tribal histories. A truly emotional experience connecting us to the stories and experiences of our ancestors." ~ Melissa (Harding) Ferretti - Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe
"My students are eager to delve into original sources and to access Native voices and perspectives in new ways.  I routinely incorporate the Collaborative's sources into both lectures and upper-level research seminars."  -- Christine DeLucia, Williams College, author of Memory Lands, King Philip's War and the Place of Violence in the Northeast
