MADISON HEIGHTS
Three years after federal recognition opened up a wealth of new opportunities, the Monacan Indian Nation now finds itself with a robust community center thatâs poised to help hundreds of its members and others in the local community in need with a variety of programs.
Members on Tuesday welcomed U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, who supported the resolution recognizing the tribe, for a tour of the new Monacan Highview Complex near Monroe in Amherst County. There, he welcomed discussion from members on needs and response during the coronavirus pandemic.
Adrian Compton, tribal administrator, said the Monacan Indian Nation bought the property at 111 Highview Drive in the beginning of October and the existing buildings required little work.
