Land Acknowledgement: We acknowledge that Boston University is on what was originally the territory of the Wampanoag Nation. We respectfully note that Indigenous peoples were stewards of the land and sea where BUMC resides. We regret that Indigenous peoples were brutally subjected to genocide and removal from this area. We pledge to honor the rich traditions of the Indigenous peoples of the US with gratitude by pursuing our activities with respect for life in all its forms and manifestations.
