***ATTENTION***
Due to the increase of COVID cases here in Amherst and surrounding areas, September 18th's 11AM Tribal Meeting has been changed to an information session via zoom only. Please email the office for the zoom information and should you have any questions please reach out to Chief Kenneth Branham.
St. Paul's annual homecoming that was scheduled for October 2nd has been postponed this year. There are tickets you can purchase at the Monacan Museum for a quilt made by Joanie Hicks & Betty Hicks and a Native lamp as well.
Due to COVID-19 our offices are going back to appointment only. If you need Housing, IHS, Enrollment, etc. please call first to get one scheduled. :)
Please be advised that when you bypass the main office line to ring directly to another department, the calls do not ring back to the main line if that department does not answer. If you leave a voicemail on any other department voicemail it does not come to the main office voicemail. Each department has their own voicemail that only they have access to. If for some reason that department does not answer please call the main line to ensure that your message is delivered. Thank you!
Do you have an event coming up and need a space to rent? Please contact our main office to reserve the Monacan Community Center - open to both Monacans and Non-Monacans.
