Hello Hubbard Brook Community

The Indigenous Knowledge and Networking Committee shared a survey request a few weeks ago (September 1) and this is a gentle reminder to please participate in the survey.  Thanks to all of those who have already responded! The committee would like to hear from as many voices as possible as they continue to develop both the working and aspirational land acknowledgement statements for use by the Hubbard Brook community.

If you have any questions or comments regarding the survey, please feel free to reach out to denise or myself and Christy (your SCC co-chairs)

Would you please complete our anonymous survey? It is very short (7 questions) with opportunities to provide additional comments, if desired.

Thank you!
Lynn and Christy

Greetings all,

I am writing on behalf of the Indigenous Knowledge and Networking Committee to ask for your feedback on our proposed land acknowledgment.

Would you please complete our anonymous survey? It is very short (7 questions) with opportunities to provide additional comments, if desired.

We have proposed this land acknowledgment to the Hubbard Brook Scientific Coordinating Committee (SCC). As they consider how an acknowledgement could be adopted and used, we all want to hear from everyone in the Hubbard Brook community. We would be very grateful for your assistance with this!

We also welcome direct feedback. You can contact me or any of the people on the cc line, which includes the folks who have been working in the IKN committee on the land acknowledgment as well as the chairs of the SCC. We will be grateful to hear your questions, concerns, kudos, etc.

We are also delighted to welcome new members to our committee, and everyone is invited. Four new members have joined us over the summer---Sue Pierre, Myron Huang, Ana Suppe, and Brendan Leonardi. The new tribal liaison with the White Mountain National Forest, Sarah Hankins, has also been meeting with us. You can reach out to me if you are interested in joining us as well.

Thank you very much for considering this survey, and we hope to receive your feedback soon!
