This land has a long history of human settlement, as First Nations began settling here over 6,000 years ago. It is important to acknowledge the history of the colonial-era treaties and mechanisms that worked to subvert long-established indigenous claims to this land. With reverence to those who came before, those now, and those who have yet to come, we acknowledge the connection between the land, the water, and the Mi\u2019kmaq.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents History of Whale Rights Connections: the Indigenous and the Whales Diving Deeper Resource for Educators Getting Involved Acknowledgments Intention Statement This project was started through a partnership with The Whale Sanctuary Project, an organization dedicated to bringing an end to the exploitation of whales and dolphins and provide a new shelter for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1256,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/template-full-width.php","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-20","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/decolonizingmuseums23\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/20","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/decolonizingmuseums23\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/decolonizingmuseums23\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/decolonizingmuseums23\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1256"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/decolonizingmuseums23\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20"}],"version-history":[{"count":67,"href":"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/decolonizingmuseums23\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/20\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":837,"href":"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/decolonizingmuseums23\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/20\/revisions\/837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/decolonizingmuseums23\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
