In recognition of Indigenous Peoples' Day on Monday, October 14, we share the school department's statement acknowledging the land on which we live and go to school:
We understand, honor, and acknowledge that the city of Westbrook and the Westbrook Schools are located on Wabanaki lands and waters. We acknowledge that Wabanaki people have belonged to this land for countless generations and thousands of years, and that their presence continues in Maine to this day.
