Land Acknowledgement

We recognize that the Alewife Reservation stands on the ancestral and unceded lands of the Massachusett, Wampanoag, Narragansett, and Pawtucket peoples, who have stewarded this land for generations. We acknowledge the devastating and ongoing legacy of colonialism, which violently dispossessed Indigenous peoples of their territories, cultures, and ways of life. We honor and respect the enduring presence and deep wisdom of the native communities who are still here today, and believe that Traditional Ecological Knowledge and indigenous worldviews are essential in re-establishing ecosystems and ways of life that are bound to this land.
