This Store is Located on N’dakinna

I made a land acknowledgement sign for the store this weekend and put it up last night.

I put it right by the door so our customers have an opportunity to read and reflect. I hope this small step becomes a way to have broader conversations about building inclusive spaces.

I'm still learning every day and I hope you'll all continue with me on this learning journey.

"This store is located at Cocheco (CO-chi-co) on N’dakinna (n-DA-ki-na), now called Dover, New Hampshire, which is the unceded traditional ancestral homeland of the Abenaki (a-BEN-a-ki), Pennacook and Wabanaki Peoples, past and present. We acknowledge and honor with gratitude the land, waterways, living beings, and the Aln8bak (Al-nuh-bak), the people who have stewarded N’dakinna (n-DA-ki-na) for many millennia.”

Visit the Indigenous New Hampshire Collaborative Collective for more information about land acknowledgements in our state.
