We acknowledge that 皇冠体育 is built on ancestral and traditional land of the Massachusett people. We also recognize that the United States’ removal, 终止, and assimilation policies and practices resulted in the forced settlement of Indigenous lands and the attempted erasure of Indigenous cultures and languages. 我们进一步承认这种压迫, 不公正, and discrimination that Indigenous people have endured and that there is much work to be done on the important journey to reconciliation. We commit to strengthen our understanding of the history and contemporary lives of Indigenous peoples and to steward this land.
We further recognize the many Indigenous people living here today—including the Massachusett, 万帕诺亚格人, and Nipmuc nations—who have rich ancestral histories in 韦尔斯利 and its surrounding communities. 今天, their descendants remind us that they are still here, where they maintain a vital and visible presence. We honor and respect the enduring relationship between these peoples and this land, as well as the strength of Indigenous culture and knowledge, the continued existence of tribal sovereignty, and the principle of tribal self-de终止.
我们感谢 美洲原住民学生协会 at 皇冠体育 for their support in developing this land acknowledgement, and we are committed to supporting continued action and advocacy.
