NCURA acknowledges that the 2025 Region I Spring takes place on N’dakinna, which is the traditional ancestral homeland of the Abenaki, Pennacook and Wabanaki Peoples past and present. We acknowledge and honor with gratitude the land and waterways and the alnobak (people) who have stewarded N’dakinna throughout the generations, and for the opportunity to study, learn, work, and be in community with this land. We encourage everyone in this space to engage in continued learning about the Indigenous peoples who work and live on this land since time immemorial, including the Pennacook Abenaki, and about the historical and present realities of colonialism.

This acknowledgment does not take the place of authentic relationship with indigenous communities but serves as one way to honor the land we are on.

NCURA also acknowledges the contribution of enslaved persons who were drivers of economic growth and development in the United States. We honor the legacy of enslaved people, primarily of African descent, Black Life, and the lives of all people of color that continue to make an impact on cultures and societies around the world through music, food, art, sports, architecture, science, business, and agriculture. We are indebted to their labor and their sacrifice, and we must acknowledge the tremors of violence throughout generations and the resulting impact that can still be felt and witnessed today.

NCURA is committed to building and maintaining a culture of inclusion. NCURA provides a land and labor acknowledgment as part of our mission to be a welcoming and inclusive organization.

We invite you to learn more about the peoples of N’dakinna through the following links:

• Indigenous NH

• The Cowasuck Band of the Pennacook Abenaki
