The Nipmuc Nation was a non profit entity of the state-recognized tribe Hassanamisco Nipmuc,[2] an Indigenous people of the Northeastern Woodlands based in South Grafton, Massachusetts.[1]
The Nipmuc Nation also used to work with the Chaubunagungamaug Nipmuck, of Worcester County, Massachusetts. Most of the group's more than 500 members live in and around the Chaubunagungamaug Reservation, Hassanamisco Reservation and the city of Worcester. Cheryll Toney Holley was elected as the chief of the Hassanamisco Nipmuc Band in 2013.[3]
In 2004, the Bureau of Indian Affairs determined that this group did not meet four of the seven mandatory requirements to be a federally recognized tribe.[4]
