The Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe is a cultural heritage group[4][5] that claims descent from the Wampanoag people based in Plymouth, Massachusetts.[6][7] They have a nonprofit organization, the Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribal Council, Inc.[1]
The Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe is not a federally or state recognized tribe,[4][8] as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has only one official state recognized tribe, the Nipmuc Tribe,[4] who were recognized by Governor Michael Dukakis in 1976. Nevertheless, the Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe and other unrecognized groups in Massachusetts have been represented as state recognized in several unofficial directories and publications.[9][10][11] The Massachusetts Commission on Indian Affairs announced in August 2023 that it would establish a process for state recognition.[12] The Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe has not submitted a documented petition for federal acknowledgment.[13]
