"How good and pleasant it is for brothers to dwell in unity" ps 133.1

Welcome,

You have reached the Tribal site of the Praying Indians of Natick and Ponkapoag.

We are honored to have presented the first Praying Indian Tribe Powwow held in 354 years on the weekend of September 24 and 25, 2005 at Cochituate State Park, Natick, MA.

Moskhet Kuttoo

The Creator, His Son, and the Most Powerful Spirit have kept our legacy and tribal presence alive against the most powerful winds of change and persecution. As remnant, our Tribe is proud to bear this history, and offer the presence of healing to those whom the Creator has bidden.

The ancient seed…

"The life the Creator places within a seed always lives. The time and the season for it to spring forth is determined. A boulder resting upon its path in tenfold darkness prevents the awakening. This is the ancient seed. When the master gardener rolls it away it is given to the hired man to tend the fragile plant so that its fruit many refresh and branches may shade all who wish to recline." -September 2005
