The New England Native American Institute is a tax-exempt non-profit Massachusetts corporation functioning as an Indian-controlled research and documentation center, located in Worcester Massachusetts.

The Institute operates as collaboration between Native American researchers, representatives of regional Indian nations, non-Indian scholars and others. Its work is to further a scholarly study and appreciation of New England's rich and unique Native American history and culture. The Institute has been active in many areas including:

Preserving a still growing collection of Indian artifacts, documents, photographs and other objects for an eventual Native American museum in the central Massachusetts area.
Initiating an Indian oral history archive of video tapes of elders and tribal leaders and training native peoples in audio visual techniques and methods.
Conducting Native American community-based educational cycles for all ages exploring facets of Indian studies and native spirituality.
Identifying regional Native American historical and archeological sites for documentation preservation and protection.
Conducting workshops, conferences, and providing speakers
