UUCN Land Acknowledgement 

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Nashua is on unceded and occupied land called Niswa-ok (NIS-wah-oak) (now Nashua), in N’dakinna (‘n-DAH-kin-nah), the sacred ancestral homeland of the Pennacook, Abenaki and Wabanaki Peoples, past and present.  We acknowledge and honor these People who have been stewards of this land and water for hundreds of generations.

Our Church’s financial foundation came from the appropriation of this sacred land and from profits of the cotton textile industry using the labor of enslaved people.

Our principles call us to work toward reconciliation and relationship with the Indigenous People who are still among us, and with those who have suffered through enslavement and racial injustice. And so we covenant to steward our environment, especially our local waterways, as well as to foster and nourish community relationships.
