LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

We acknowledge that we are currently standing on Noepe, the land of the Wampanoag people who have stewarded this land for over 12,000 years and continue to celebrate it as their home to this day. Through this Acknowledgement, we recognize Wampanoag culture, creativity, and perspective. It is important to remember that no matter where we go in the United States, we are always on Indigenous land.
