About National Native American Heritage Month: What started at the turn of the century as an effort to gain a day of recognition for the significant contributions the first Americans made to the establishment and growth of the U.S., has resulted in a whole month being designated for that purpose.

National Day of Mourning

The National Day of Mourning is an annual demonstration, held on the fourth Thursday in November, that aims to educate the public about Native Americans in the United States, notably the Wampanoag and other tribes of the Eastern United States; dispel myths surrounding the Thanksgiving story in the United States; and raise awareness toward historical and ongoing struggles facing Native American tribes. Learn more about the National Day of Mourning and its close ties to Massachusetts history at the GBH news story: https://www.wgbh.org/news/local-news/2020/11/26/for-native-americans-its-not-thanksgiving-its-a-national-day-of-mourning 

MassBay Land Acknowledgement

Massachusetts Bay Community College wishes to acknowledge that the Wellesley, Framingham, Ashland campuses sit on land that was appropriated by the US Federal government from the Nipmuc, Massa-aschu-es-et (Massachusetts) and Pawtucket tribes. MassBay cannot change the past but what we can do is honor the land, the ancestors, and the indigenous traditions as we at MassBay use this sacred land as a communal place to nurture learners to move forward and make a more inclusive world.
