Our Land Acknowledgment:
We acknowledge we farm on the stolen homeland of the Wabanaki people. We hold great respect and gratitude for the many generations of Indigenous peoples that have co-existed with this land we now call Maine for thousands of years and continue to do so today. We acknowledge the ongoing violation of the Wabanaki’s water, land and sacred rights to this day. We pledge to stand with the Wabanaki in their fight for tribal sovereignty and to support the many Indigenous-led food sovereignty and environmental programs that are thriving in the Wabanaki Homeland today.
Action Plan:
Donate to the purchase of Niweskok's Farm in the Penobscot Bay Region
Continue to write testimony in support of Wabanaki Tribal Sovereignty
Continue to show up to Indigenous-led rallies
Donate resources to Indigenous-led organizations
Continue to attend other Wabanaki Reach educational events
Continue to put in our own time and effort to learn Wabanaki's and other Indigenous peoples’ histories
Introduce the concept and the responsibility of a “land acknowledgement” to other White-led organizations that we work with
To revisit and update this action plan
