As an inhabitant of the ancestral lands of the first people of Hampton, Connecticut, we honor the Nipmuc people past, present, and future and recognize Mother Earth herself, whose land we steward on Windy Hill.
We grieve the disparities of wealth, income, employment, education, health care, and criminal justice that define the racial landscape of this country. As a white person who has received undue benefit from our ancestors’ wrongdoings and who continues to receive undue benefit from our nation’s systemic racism, we are committed to taking responsibility by devoting time, energy, and financial support towards reparations.
