We live and work on the stolen, ancestral lands of the Indigenous peoples of the Agawam, Massachusett, Mohican, Naumkeag, Nauset, Nipmuc, Nonotuck, Patuxet, Pawtucket, Pocumtuc, Pokanoket, and Wampanoag nations, as well as many other Indigenous communities whose names have been lost due to colonial erasure. We honor and respect the enduring presence and contributions of the 74,000 Native people who continue to reside in rural, reservation, and urban areas across our state. In gratitude and recognition of the Indigenous peoples, past and present, who have cared for and stewarded this land for countless generations, let this Land Acknowledgment serve as a call to action to deepen your understanding of and stand in solidarity with Native communities in your area.<\/p>\n
