"The significance of this land goes back to time immemorial for our people. For the first time in over 340 years, we unlocked the gates to the property for ourselves and walked onto our land. That is significant. It is historical."
"The transfer comes after a 2017 agreement that ended a month-long Pokanoket encampment at the site, highlighting an effort to reconcile historical injustices and restore tribal ties to ancestral lands."
"The Pokanoket 'shall at all times and in perpetuity provide and maintain access to the lands and waters of the Property to all members of all Tribes historically part of the Pokanoket Nation/Confederacy.'"
