Land Acknowledgement
Hudson Valley, NY
Located on the unceded ancestral lands of the Muh-He-Con-Neok, “the People of the Waters that Are Never Still.”
We humbly and gratefully acknowledge that the Hudson Valley, New York region is located on the ancestral lands of the Stockbridge-Munsee People of the Mohican Nation, who are the First people of this land. They were subject to genocide, coerced into assimilation, and forcibly removed from their homelands to what is now known as Wisconsin. They continue to retain their unbroken status as a Sovereign Nation. Despite removal, they continue to hold relationships with their homelands and settler communities.
Cambridge, MA
Located on the unceded ancestral lands of the Massadchu-es-et, "great-hill-small-place," referring to the hills of the Boston basin as seen from the bay.
We acknowledge that Cambridge, MA, is located on the ancestral lands of the Massachusett tribe at Ponkapoag, who are the descendants of the original people of the land. They continue to occupy the unceded land and, against all odds, have survived as the descendants of the first people. They continue to survive as Massachusett people and have retained the oral tradition of storytelling as their ancestors did. This tradition passes on the Massachusett view of how our world works, a relationship with all of nature, and why things are the way they are. It protects a way of perceiving and doing things in our community that traces back thousands of years. We acknowledge this tradition.
