Come visit BNFCA at the Farmers Market on the Belchertown Common! We’ll be talking to residents, sharing our vision and building support for rematriation in Belchertown. We’ll have architectural renderings of what Lampson Brook Farm could look like under Nipmuc stewardship on display, and we’ll have coloring pages for kids, informational pamphlets, yard signs, buttons and stickers for folks to take.

Re-membering into Kinship: Unlearning Settler Ways
Friday, May 1, 2026| 10 AM - 5:30 PM| Franklin Patterson Hall
A joint offering from the Hampshire College Decolonization & Reciprocity Working Group and the Five College Native American and Indigenous Studies Program, Re-membering into Kinship: Unlearning Settler Ways is an transdisciplinary exploration that brings together educators, scholars, students, organizers, youth, and community members committed to reimagining education beyond colonial impositions.

Grounded in Indigenous perspectives on relationality, reciprocity, and place-based and community-embedded pedagogy, the symposium invites participants to critically examine how settler colonial logics shape our institutions, pedagogies, and everyday ways of knowing. Through dialogue, storytelling, and collective praxis, the gathering aims to center the work of unlearning, unsettling, and subverting the extractive, individualistic, hierarchical, and cisheteropatriarchal modes of thought demanded of settler futurity and colonial schooling.

At the same time, we hope the symposium will also serve as a site for the resurgence and embodiment of practices that honor kinship, responsibility, and interdependence, believing that such experiences are worth actuating even if they are temporary and fleeting. Together, we ask what it means to remember otherwise, and how education might become a site of abolition, resurgence, and anti-colonial agency.

Thank you all for signing and sharing our Petition to Return Lampson Brook Farm to the Nipmuc People! We have now reached over 6,000 signatures across the state and we are very grateful for your support!

The Nipmuc currently manage several sustainable agriculture projects across the state, and the addition of the Lampson Brook Farm would help make the tribe’s vision of increased food security and community health a reality.

We urge you to continue to share this petition and to consider contacting your State Representative and State Senator to let them know why this issue is important to you. Find them at https://malegislature.gov/Search/FindMyLegislator
