Demand Letter of the Wellesley Native American Student Association (NASA)
Dear President Johnson, Board of Trustees, Provost Shennan, Dean Horton, Dean St. John, Dean Jeffries, Dean Nuñez, Dean Sendoya, Dean Tenser, Department Heads, and all other members of the Wellesley College Community,
We, the executive board of the Native American Students Association (NASA), demand an end to the hostile environment Wellesley College has created for Indigenous students. Since its inception as a colonial institution on stolen Massachusett land, Wellesley College has devalued and ignored the Indigenous people in its community. Today, Indigenous members of the Wellesley community are forced to contend with anti-Indigenous racism and prejudice from the administration, faculty, staff, and student body.
Wellesley College has created an environment that is detrimental to the safety and mental health of its Indigenous students. Indigenous students face microaggressions on a daily basis, harmful stereotyping, and ignorance about the basic identity and existence of Indigenous peoples. We have been told by the Wellesley community, including professors, that Indigenous people were weak, rightfully crushed under the heel of colonial governments throughout history, and are now extinct. We have been told that our people are “lazy alcoholics” getting rich from casino money. We have been told that our men are violent misogynists and that our women are only fit to be white men’s mistresses or Native men’s drudges. Members of the Wellesley community regularly claim that their great-grandmothers were “Indian princesses” in an attempt to claim our identities as their own. We are confronted with the falsehoods professors, students, and other members of the Wellesley community believe about us and our ancestors on an almost daily basis. In short, this is violence.
But our struggles extend beyond interpersonal relationships with people at Wellesley. Settler professors believe that they are entitled to teach classes on Indigenous experiences as though they can understand our lived experiences simply by observing, and as though they could accurately portray Indigenous cultures through the select few Indigenous voices they have chosen to highlight. They do this at least in part because Wellesley as an institution has failed for years to hire Indigenous faculty members. Students and professors believe that they have the right to speak over Indigenous students about these issues and ignore Indigenous voices, idealizing “pre-extinction” tribes and Indigenous relationships with the land. These same people speak down to us, and try to whitesplain our own reality to us in order to justify their actions. Further, professors present information that is out of date, such as the racist and now-discredited “Bering Strait Theory.” These things individually are painful, but on campus, students and professors study Indigenous students as if we are zoo animals rather than human beings. These actions have created a space where Indigenous students cannot exist as whole beings; we must exist as people of the past or as curiosities for others to marvel at.
However, Wellesley’s impact on Indigenous peoples and communities extends far beyond our on-campus community. 2.7% of the endowment is invested directly in fossil fuel companies. $65 million of Wellesley College’s money is going directly to the devastation of Indigenous lands across the world. These lands do not exist in a vacuum -- they are the homelands of people, animals, and plants. Wellesley’s use of the endowment to support extractivism is morally abhorrent. As Indigenous people, land is inextricably tied to our ways of knowing and ways of living. As long as Wellesley uses its endowment to harm land in the pursuit of profit, the College will never truly fulfill its obligations to the Indigenous members of the Wellesley community. Major steps were taken this year towards divestment thanks to the incredibly hard work of the students in ECON 199/ES 199. The students and their professor have also been great allies to the Native students on campus.
In order to begin to reckon with the hostile environment Wellesley has created and supported for Indigenous students, the executive board of NASA has created a list of demands extending from academic life to admissions. These demands are truly the minimum Wellesley College should do to begin to repair its relationship with its Indigenous community. We urge all members of the Wellesley community to support these demands as we fight to create a better Wellesley for Indigenous students. We consider these demands a starting point and an opportunity for an open conversation with the administration and academic departments. We are willing to work with the administration to ensure that our demands are met and that Wellesley becomes a better place for its Indigenous students.
The Native American Student Association demands the following:
Institutional Accountability
- We demand that Wellesley create and publish an appropriate land acknowledgement in a form acceptable to the Native American Student Association. We have proposed language as follows: Wellesley College occupies the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary unceded lands of the Massachusett tribe. We recognize that we are on stolen land, and we extend our gratitude to the many Indigenous peoples who have rich histories here, including the Massachusett, Wampanoag and Nipmuc nations, for their ongoing stewardship of the land. We commit to recognizing, supporting, and advocating for the sovereignty of the Indigenous Nations whose traditional territories are in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as well as for the many Indigenous peoples who live, work and study in Wellesley and Massachusetts. By offering this Land Acknowledgment, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty and commit to holding Wellesley College more accountable to the needs of Indigenous peoples. Senior administration has been very receptive to this demand, and a committee has been formed to work on the land acknowledgment. We are optimistic that a formal land acknowledgement will happen next year. Individual professors, organizations and students have been amazing around the land acknowledgment demand, adding it to their email signatures, using it in classes, and at events.
- We demand that Wellesley divest from the fossil fuel industry immediately. Major steps were taken this year towards divestment thanks to the incredibly hard work of the students in ECON 199/ES 199. The students and their professor have also been great allies to the Native students on campus. This demand is essentially fulfilled.
- We demand that Wellesley create a plan that addresses all of our concerns and demands, with input and consent from the Indigenous members of the Native American Student Association. This is only partially fulfilled, as there is no formal plan in place to address all of our concerns. However, we have met with senior administration multiple times, so steps are being made in the right direction.
Curriculum and Hiring
- We demand that Wellesley College create more courses about Indigenous history and cultures, taught by Indigenous professors, in every academic department. This demand is unfulfilled.
- We demand that Wellesley hire adjunct and tenure-track Indigenous professors to teach in all departments, including those with expertise in subject matters that do not necessarily relate to Indigenous Studies. This demand is unfulfilled.
- We demand an end to white professors teaching courses about Indigenous peoples and cultures. This demand is unfulfilled.
- We demand the creation of an Indigenous Studies minor, with the eventual goal of creating an Indigenous Studies department. This demand is unfulfilled.
- We demand that the Indigenous Studies department be composed of Indigenous/Native American professors. This demand is unfulfilled.
- We demand that the College bring more Indigenous/Native American speakers to campus, and end the practice of bringing white speakers to campus to speak on Indigenous topics. This demand is partially fulfilled. The Faculty Group on Studies in the North American West will be giving us funds next year to bring in Native speakers. Individual professors have also been very proactive on this front, and have brought in distinguished Native American speakers to speak to their classes. The Office of Intercultural Education has also been extremely supportive and helpful in helping NASA to fund Native American speakers. We are hoping that this trend of bringing Indigenous people to speak, instead of so-called white “experts,” continues in the future.
- We demand that classes about Indigenous peoples and history do not solely focus on our “plight” or historical trauma, but instead focus on all facets of Indigenous life, especially joy, creativity, and resilience. This demand has yet to be fulfilled. There were some notable questionable incidents this year, including a highly offensive discussion of Residential Schools in an art class.
Student Life
- We demand that the Office of Intercultural Education publish a list of resources for Native students on their website. Fulfilled. The resources can be found here.
- We demand that the Office of Intercultural Education hire an advisor for Native American students. Fulfilled. Both Dean Karen Shih and Dean Alicea-Westort have officially stepped into this role, and we literally could not have asked for better advisors!
- We demand that the Office of Intercultural Education better support the Native American Student Association both financially and logistically to decrease the burden on individual Native students to create community on campus. Fulfilled. NASA will essentially be held in trust by the OICE so that NASA exists in perpetuity. The OICE and Dean Horton have been very generous with their funding for NASA events this year, and because NASA is an official organization maintained by the OICE, the onus is no longer on one student to keep NASA alive.
- We demand that the Office of Intercultural Education work with the Native American Student Association to create cultural and educational programming for both Native students and for the Wellesley community. Fulfilled. This year, the OICE helped NASA to organize many events, and next year we are hoping to organize more culturally specific events, such as beading groups. We are confident that the OICE will continue to help us, as they have been our staunchest allies.
- We demand that the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life provide a space for Indigenous students to perform ceremonies, including “smudging,” away from non-Native eyes.
- We demand that the College celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day annually by bringing Indigenous artists and speakers to campus in collaboration with the Native American Student Association. Fulfilled. The ORSL is in the process of converting the Old Labyrinth into a prayer space for Native students. NASA students have also been granted permission to use the Multifaith Center. Lastly, the ORSL has committed $1000 to Native spirituality/religious engagement support, which includes powwow attendance.
Admissions
- We demand that the Office of Admission actively recruit Native American high school students by sending admissions representatives to recruitment programs for Native American/Native Hawaiian/Alaska Native students such as College Horizons, as well as outreach to tribal educational programs and Native American/Native Hawaiiian/Alaska Native/First Nations students. Partially fulfilled. The College is sending a representative to College Horizons this year, and the Office of Admissions has made it clear that the recruitment of Native American students is a priority.
- We demand that the Office of Admission increase the number of Indigenous/Native American/Native Hawaiiian/Alaska Native/First Nations students to 5% of the total student population. Native American students currently make up less than 1% of the student body. This demand is unfulfilled. With that being said, 30 Native American students were accepted this past year, which is a HUGE increase from previous years!
- We demand that the Office of Admission foster relationships with communities and schools that have substantial Native American populations to make Wellesley a more accessible opportunity for them. This demand is unfulfilled, but the Office of Admissions has made the recruitment of Native American students a priority, so this demand will likely be fulfilled in the future.
- We demand that the Office of Admission include statistics about the number of Native American students at Wellesley in their admissions publications. This demand is likely to be fulfilled.
We, the undersigned, support the demands of the Native American Student Association at Wellesley College.
