Indigenous Naumkeag
1 sound
The land that you and this building are on is Naumkeag, or fishing place, where generations of Indigenous people, including Massachusett, Pawtucket, and other communities lived and passed through for centuries. From the village upon the Naumkeag River (now known as the North River) to Sachem Nanapeshemet's fortification (now known as Castle Hill), the people of Naumkeag fished, farmed, traded, raised families, discovered and invented, created art and above all else, honored the lands upon which you stand today. We acknowledge that this is Indigenous land and also acknowledge the Massachusett Tribe who continue to honor and hold this land into the present.
