Burial Protection/Sand Bank Restoration Project in Full Swing!

After a successful fundraising campaign, the Friends of Wissatinnewag, Inc. were able to fulfill our contract with the USDA's Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS)for the Wissatinnewag Burial Protection/Sand Bank Restoration Project. Hardworking Friends volunteers joined forces with NRCS staff to implement several approaches to stablization of the exposed sand bank, created when the previous owner dug into the hillside to extract sand and gravel. It's a very important step in the overall restoration of the ancient Wissatinnewag site and the protection of our sacred ancestral burials. We are very appreciative of the NRCS' commitment to this effort...Oliwni to them and our generous donors who made the project possible!
