Join the third session of "Whose Land? Beyond Land Acknowledgements" with featured speaker, Keely Curliss of Pequoig Farm. This series is for those in the Tufts community who want to learn more about the histories of native and indigenous peoples and tribes and their efforts to steward and reclaim land in the areas occupied by Tufts University.
A leader in reclaiming and stewarding indigenous lands, Keely Curliss is the Farm Manager and Director of Pequoig Farm. This 181 acre farm in central Massachusetts was rematriated to Nipmuc stewardship in 2022 in partnership with the Farm School. Pequoig is advancing Nipmuc food sovereignty by building a healthy, robust farm ecosystem that provides food, medicine, land based education, and cultural connection for our tribal community. Keely is a member of the Nipmuc tribe and has been farming for more than 15 years.
