David Shane Lowry and Sage Carbone present a mockup of the new bilingual street sign for Eighth Street

Nan objektif pou elaji rekonesans Pèp Endijèn yo nan Cambridge, kominote a te vote atravè pwosesis Participatory Budgeting (PB) Vil Cambridge la pou finanse yon seri makè ak pano ki rekonèt prezans kontinyèl Pèp Endijèn yo, alfwa anvan ak apre etablisman blan yo, epi edike rezidan yo ak vizitè yo sou lavi ak tradisyon yo. Premye faz pwojè PB sa a se te tradui non lari ki gen nimewo yo nan East Cambridge nan lang Masachusett epi enstale nouvo pano nan lari soti nan First rive nan Eighth streets. Sit entènèt sa a prezante pwojè a epi li pral sèvi kòm yon paj akèy pou eleman ak pwogramasyon pwojè alavni yo.

Orijin Pwojè a

Nominasyon pa Sage Carbone, rezidan East Cambridge ak Tribi Endyen Narragansett nan Nò Rhode Island.

Konsepsyon an

Poukisa koulè Vyolèt ak Vèt?

Koulè violèt la te chwazi pou pòsyon lang Massachusett nan pano yo paske se koulè kokiy paloud quahog ke moun Endijèn yo itilize pou fè bijou wampum . Se koulè vèt la anpil minisipalite/meri ak depatman sèvis woutye yo itilize pou pano oryantasyon. Li fasil pou rekonèt men se pa yon koulè obligatwa. Pozisyon kòtakòt la fè nou sonje ke gen plis pase yon fason pou gade bagay yo.

Vwa Endijèn yo

Mwen espere ke lè moun ap vwayaje atravè, oswa vin vizite, yo wè ke East Cambridge ak Kendall Square ap fè efò sa yo pou rekonsilye ak istwa yo.

Sage Carbone, WBZ Interview, 3 Novanm 2023

Nou toujou chèche ti etap paske nou konnen, menm jan ak yon tibebe, ti etap egal finalman kouri epi, ou konnen, fè tout kalite lòt gwo bagay.

Konsènan Massachusett Tribe nan Ponkapoag

Seal of the Massachusett Tribe at Ponkapoag

“Massachusett Tribe se desandan premye pèp Anvayisè Anglè yo te premye rankontre kote ki rele kounye a Commonwealth of Massachusetts la. Kont tout atant nou te siviv kòm desandan premye moun Massachusetts yo. Nou kontinye siviv kòm moun Massachusett paske nou te kenbe tradisyon oral rakonte istwa menm jan zansèt nou yo te konn fè a. Tradisyon sa a transmèt vizyon Massachusett sou fason mond nou an fonksyone, relasyon nou ak tout lanati ak poukisa bagay yo jan yo ye a. Gen fason pou wè ak fè bagay yo nan kominote nou an ki la depi plizyè milye ane. Gen metòd medikaman ki gen plizyè milye ane ke nou toujou pratike jodi a. Nou onore zansèt nou yo paske yo te kenbe tradisyon yo te kapab kenbe yo, pou prevwayans yo, pou kado yo te kite pou nou yo ak pou oryantasyon kontini yo bay.”
