HONORING OUR PAST
BUILDING OUR FUTURE
Supporting Community Economic Development
We are proud to support the economic development of the Upper Mattaponi Indian Tribe and to contribute to the tribal mission of enhancing the overall quality of life of the UMIT people. A portion of our profits is used to support UMIT citizens through a multitude of programs and services such as education, health care, nutrition services, housing programs, legal services, elder and child care and community support programs. Successful economic development is an integral part of the Upper Mattaponi Indian Tribe’s operations.
The Upper Mattaponi Tribe is centered in King William County. The Tribe's community base still resides in the traditional lands of Tsenacomacah.
The Tribe has strong ties to Christianity and their community is centered around The Indian View Baptist Church, built in 1942. Next door to the church is the Sharon Indian School. Originally built in the early 1900’s, it was replaced with a more modern structure in the 1950’s. As the only public Indian school building in the state of Virginia, it now serves as a community space for tribal meetings and gatherings.
​
​
Today the Upper Mattaponi own over 400 acres of land and are a proud and humble people of strong character and values, with much optimism and hope for the future. The Tribe was officially recognized by the Commonwealth of Virginia on March 25, 1983, and received Federal recognition on January 29, 2018 via Public Law 115-121.
