WINGAPO!

 

WELCOME!

 

Attention Tribal Members!!

Many of you may not know that our long time Chief, Robert "Two Eagles" Green retired from his position as elected Chief of the tribe in March. Robert has been the only chief the Patawomeck have known since the 17th century. Through his vision and leadership we have become a state recognized tribe and grown to 1300 members. On May5, 2013, Gary "Walking Crow" Cook retired from his position as Lesser Chief. Like Robert, Gary has been instrumental in the growth and development of the tribe. Both Gary and Robert will retain their titles and a place of honor within the tribe. Please join me in wishing both Robert and Gary a well deserved break and thank them for all they have done.
On May 19th the Tribal Council appointed John Lightner our new Chief and Gordon Silver our new Assistant Chief. In addition Jeff Newton is our new Tribal Judge, Dennis Harding is our new Treasurer, and Charles "Bootsie" Bullock and Lou Silver have joined the Tibal Council.

Donate Your Car to the Patawomeck Indians!

 

The Patawomeck Heritage Foundation is now accepting used vehicles for donations. We are able to accept anything from an old bucket of rust that has been an eyesore in your backyard to a gently used, like new trade in. We have a consignment agreement that enables us to sell drivable vehicles at full market value enabling your donation to bring maximum value to the tribe. We are able to accept boats, RVs, campers, motorcycles, and even equipment. The only requirement is that for any on the road vehicle or boat we will need the title. If you have lost the title to that clunker in the backyard, we can help you get a replacement. The Heritage Foundation will make arrangements to move any units that are not drivable. If you have something you would like to donate, please give me a call and I will be happy to provide more information and help turn your donation into cash for the Tribe.
