Land Acknowledgement:
We acknowledge that the land we occupy has been stewarded by the Abenaki, Wabanaki,
Pocumtuc, and neighboring nations for millennia before the arrival of colonial settlers. We honor
their resilience, wisdom, and living presence by moving beyond words into actions that support
Native rights, forward cultural equity, and protect the land, air, and water that give us life. While
we do not have answers to the problems that we have inherited from the past, we can commit to
asking difficult questions, thinking critically, and holding space for discussions that will lead to a
more equitable and sustainable community.
