President of the board of directors of the North American Indian Center of Boston, Jean-Luc Pierite, asked the crowd to close their eyes and imagine the land that they’re on. “I want you to project yourself back into time,” he said. “Where we know there to be water, there might be land there at that point in time. Where we have solid land, the water might be. But no matter where that situation is, go back to that time and the people that were born here, that lived here, that died here. And now I want you to take yourself ahead in time, to a point in the future where all the seeds that we’re planting here today and all of the work that we’re doing with the social changes that need to happen, our descendants are living in that time; where the fruits of our labor...they’re enjoying that. So we just want to acknowledge the land and the world that we are leaving for our descendants.”
