NATIVE LAND CONSERVANCY WAS FOUNDED IN 2012 IN MASHPEE, MASSACHUSETTS, AND IS THE FIRST NATIVE-RUN LAND CONSERVATION GROUP EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI. AFTER CENTURIES OF HARDSHIP AND ECONOMIC STRUGGLE, IT IS ONLY NOW THAT WE CAN FINALLY ATTEND TO THE IMPORTANT WORK OF PROTECTING SACRED SPACES, HABITAT AREAS FOR OUR WINGED AND FOUR LEGGED NEIGHBORS AND OTHER ESSENTIAL ECOSYSTEM RESOURCES TO BENEFIT MOTHER EARTH AND ALL HUMAN BEINGS. ALL LAND IS SACRED IN OUR EYES AND WORTHY OF SPECIAL CARE; THUS OUR REASONS AND INTEREST IN RESCUING AND PRESERVING ANCIENT ANCESTRAL VILLAGE SITES WHERE OUR ANCESTORS ONCE LIVED AND WORKED. IN RECOGNITION OF SHARED VALUES, WE ENJOY PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER LAND CONSERVANCIES.
