In November, Native American Heritage Month celebrates the long history of Indigenous people and communities. During this month we acknowledge the rich culture, unique traditions, and ongoing contributions of Native Americans.

Pingree School Land Acknowledgement

Land acknowledgement is a traditional practice among many Native peoples going back centuries. It is meant to show respect toward the land and its peoples. Our land acknowledgement seeks to demonstrate Pingree’s commitment to fighting against the erasure of indigenous peoples, as well as honoring and inviting the truth. 

"We acknowledge that we are on the unceded traditional land of the Pawtucket People past and present, and honor with gratitude the land itself and the Pawtucket Tribe.”
