Our Two Big Missions

🏡 Getting Our Land Back

We’re working with Where Is My Land to research and reclaim our family’s land. A share of every reunion fundraiser goes to the legal retainer — and to seed money for future reunions.

Give to the Land Fund

🎓 The Scholarship Fund

Scholarships for descendants of our ancestors — college, trade school, and certification programs. Give in honor or in memory of a loved one.

Give to Scholarships

Payment buttons appear once the Treasurer connects our payment links — until then, see the Give page for ways to contribute.

🕊️ In Loving Memory

Our memorial page honors the loved ones whose roots hold this family up. Send names, photos, and remembrances to harrisnelsonfamilyreunion@gmail.com.
