Recognizing Native Lands

The Center for Inclusive and Special Education acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land we are on today: the Massachusett, Wampanoag, Nauset, Narragansett, Nipmuck, Pocumtuc, Pequot-Mohegan, and Mattabesic Tribes. We also pay respect to those among us today from Native communities (of the Cothutikut Mattakeeset, Ponkapoaq, Neponset, and many more).
