Montserrat Land Acknowledgement

Montserrat College of Art would like to acknowledge
the Naumkeag (Nah- um-kee-ahg) people,
as it was their ancestral lands until disease, war,
slavery and colonization displaced them
from their homeland. The Naumkeag people
were part of the Massachusett Alliance
and their descendants are now included in the
many tribal nations across the Northeast.
We recognize our obligations to this land and
to the Indigenous people who care for it.
As we work toward diversity, equity, and inclusion,
we acknowledge our need to decolonize
our systems by including Indigenous people and
perspectives in our discourse, artistic education,
and academic and leadership teams.
