Additionally, we know that a school\u2019s commitment to equity can be a major factor when you\u2019re choosing a graduate school. Here\u2019s how we\u2019re acknowledging National Native American Heritage Month at Emerson and in the Boston community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Native American Heritage at Emerson<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/01\/Native-American-photo-1-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Man dressed in traditional Wampanoag  clothing speaks into a microphone\" class=\"wp-image-3031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/01\/Native-American-photo-1-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/01\/Native-American-photo-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/01\/Native-American-photo-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/01\/Native-American-photo-1-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Members of the Wampanoag Tribal Council visited Emerson and hosted the educational Native American Cultures Celebration <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Part of our responsibility as an intercultural community is to respect and support all of our students. We also need to amplify the voices of students who have historically been marginalized. One way the college supports historically marginalized voices is by hosting Indigenous <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/today.emerson.edu\/2018\/11\/19\/native-american-celebration-highlights-tribal-cultures-land-rights\/\">celebrations<\/a> <\/strong>and <a href=\"https:\/\/emerson.edu\/news-events\/media\/press-releases\/emerson-media-art-gallery-presents-future-ancestral-technologies-nagshibi-an-exhibition-promoting-global-consciousness-through-indigenous-science-fiction\"><strong>artists<\/strong><\/a> that students can engage with. Most recently, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/brightlights\/\">Bright Lights<\/a> <\/strong>screened the documentary <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/today.emerson.edu\/event\/bright-lights-film-series-inhabitants-an-indigenous-perspective\/\"><em>Inhabitants<\/em><\/a>,<\/strong> which discusses Native American land and traditions. These events are a step towards increasing representation and intercultural awareness on campus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to supporting artistic and cultural events, Emerson\u2019s department of<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/emerson.edu\/departments\/intercultural-student-affairs\">Intercultural Student Affairs<\/a> <\/strong>is a resource for all students who identify within a marginalized group, including Native American students. The department houses Emerson\u2019s<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/emerson.edu\/departments\/intercultural-student-affairs\">Cultural Center<\/a> <\/strong>and hosts a number of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/emerson.edu\/departments\/intercultural-student-affairs\/programs\">programs<\/a>,<\/strong> which are great resources for students.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Emerson also recently created a<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/emerson.edu\/admissions-aid\/graduate-admission\/financial-aid\/transformational-leaders-graduate-fellowship\">Transformational Leaders Graduate Fellowship<\/a>,<\/strong> which supports student leaders concerned with diversity, equity, and inclusion. Students within the fellowship cohort will meet monthly to discuss leadership and issues of equity and inclusion affecting Emerson. This fellowship is designed to help students make positive change at Emerson and is another way the college is committed to supporting our intercultural community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Native American Heritage in Boston<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Of course, in addition to talking about intercultural resources at Emerson, it\u2019s also important to acknowledge Native American Heritage in New England more broadly. The area we know today as New England was originally inhabited by many Indigenous nations. Two major Native communities in the Boston area were the<strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/massachusetttribe.org\/the-history-of-the-neponset\">Confederation of Indigenous Massachusett<\/a><\/strong> and the<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/wampanoagtribe-nsn.gov\/wampanoag-history\">Wampanoag Nation<\/a>, <\/strong>both of which contained a wide network of tribes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For at least 10,000 years, Native American tribes prospered in this region. Later, European colonization posed a significant blow to Native American communities of New England, bringing <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/massachusetttribe.org\/the-history-of-the-neponset\">disease<\/a>,<\/strong> cultural erasure, and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/boha\/learn\/historyculture\/native-americans-and-the-boston-harbor-islands.htm\">violence<\/a> <\/strong>against Indigenous peoples.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/01\/Native-American-photo-2-1-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"The front of 172 Tremont, which houses Emerson's Cultural Center\" class=\"wp-image-3032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/01\/Native-American-photo-2-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/01\/Native-American-photo-2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/01\/Native-American-photo-2-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2023\/01\/Native-American-photo-2-1.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>172 Tremont, home of Emerson&#8217;s Cultural Center<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Engaging with Native American Heritage Month<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the oppression of colonization, Native cultures and traditions are still<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/culturalsurvival\/docs\/csq-382-june-2014\">active in New England<\/a>.<\/strong> If you\u2019re looking for ways to support Native American Heritage Month in Boston, the<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcnaa.org\/\">Massachusetts Center for Native American Awareness<\/a> <\/strong>(MCNAA) is a wonderful resource.
