Our Work

For nearly a century, our tribe has worked to regain its rights as a recognized Native American tribe. Today, Connie Hildebrandt leads the tribe’s efforts in regaining federal recognition. Supported by a team of volunteer members, experts and others, the tribe is making great strides towards preserving its history. The Moravian Church has thousands of pages of records describing the tribe and its struggles to survive the difficult journey to their eventual reservation in Kansas. The Moravian Church has also been involved in the preservation of the tribe’s cemetery in Ottawa, Kansas.

Today the tribe has the following committees:

Munsee General Committee

Sub-Committees:

Cemetery Awareness Committee

Tribal Awareness Committee

HLC Committee

Tribal Development Committee

Enrollment Committee
