Land Acknowledgement

Land Acknowledgement At the New England Foundation for the Arts, we believe that one of the roles of the arts is to make the invisible, visible. Wampum by Elizabeth James-Perry (Aquinnah Wampanoag) At the New England Foundation for the Arts, we believe that one of the roles of the arts is to make the invisible, visible. We also believe that it is not the responsibility of those who have been made invisible to remind us that they are still here. Therefore, as a committed ally, NEFA acknowledges that the ground on which we work is the traditional land of the Massachuset and Wampanoag people; we honor their ancestors past, present, and future, and recognize their continued existence and contributions to our society. NEFA also acknowledges that all the places that our distributed staff live and work, and where we provide support and hold events, are Indigenous lands. We offer our respect to the Elders – past, present, and future. Stay Connected Receive the latest news, grant offerings, and community events.Sign up
