NLT: A Protector of Sacred Sites

The Niamuck Land Trust, Inc. (NLT), was founded in November 2021 by members of the Shinnecock Nation Graves Protection Warrior Society (GPWS). Comprising permanently and solely of enrolled members of the Shinnecock Nation, the board members of NLT are committed to working to protect, preserve and purchase burial sites, and other culturally significant sites sacred to the Shinnecock Nation and their (our) neighboring Indigenous communities.

With a strong base on cultural education of and for the Shinnecock community, NLT was founded as an entity with the ability to raise funds and other resources to facilitate land acquisitions and continued stewardship of these sites as they are acquired for preservation, ceremonial, and educational purposes.
