Announcing

the

Metacom Education Project, Inc.

As part of the historic 1998 settlement between Plymouth and United American Indians of New England, Plymouth has donated money to a Native educational fund called the Metacom Education Project, Inc.

We are pleased to announce the first grants awarded by the Project:

* A grant of $2,500 to the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee for assistance in educating the public about Leonard Peltier's case.

* A grant of $5,000 to the North American Indian Center of Boston (NAICOB) for a series of community educational workshops proposed by the Center.

In addition, the Project has sponsored a number of educational presentations in schools and elsewhere this year.

In 2000, we expect to have a program in place to provide scholarships to Native students attending Massachusetts institutions of higher education. We also plan to develop Native curriculum and other educational resource materials.

Please contact us if you are interested in donating to this exciting Project, if you know of an organization that gives grants to organizations such as the Project, or for more information.
