Land Statement:
The Winooski School lies within Wôbanakik, The Land of the Dawn, and sits on the highlands on the north bank of the Winoskitegok (Winooski) River. The Abenakis named this river for the wild onions growing along its banks. The Winoskitegok headwater lies in the Vermont town of Cabot in the Askaskwiwajoak (Green Mountains) and snakes its way west to Bitawbagok, the Waters Between (Lake Champlain). Winooski School District sits on the unceded, traditional, and contemporary homelands of the Winooskik band of the Wabanaki, People of the First Light, or Dawnland. The Wabanaki have served as the stewards of Wôbanakik since the beginning of time. We encourage you to include stories, voices, and input of this land and its people as you develop your instructional materials.
This Land Statement is part of the WSD truth and reconciliation process and was created under the generous guidance of Aimee Arandia Østensen of Shelburne Farms.
