Massachusetts Ethical Archaeology Society
Bridge in the Sky Medicine Circle has worked with dozens of organizations and community groups across the Connecticut Valley, Western Massachusetts, and the region. We support community, wellbeing, social justice, ecological conservation, interfaith healing, historic and cultural preservation through medicine walks, medicine circles, cultural exchange events, and more.
We have worked to defend Indigenous sacred places and forests joining other groups and working with legislators, policymakers and state agencies.
We work with all people from all origins and following all paths. We believe in open access and equal access, and strive to achieve both.
Maguonket Traditions Permafarm is located on one of the oldest farmsteads in Northfield Farms on unceded ancestral lands holding archaeological legacy.
Here, we restore diversity, grow traditional medicines, vegetables, fruits, nuts, fibers, and pigments for educational demonstration, for struggling families, and for local foodbanks and shelters. Every year, Oso:ah donates several hundred dollars of organic, carbon-negative produce and traditional medicines to our community.
Maguonket Permafarm is also committed to species conservation, where we have restored over 70 species and provide habitat creating one of the most diverse plant and animal inventories in the area.
Massachusetts Ethical Archaeology Society
is an independent branch of Oso:ah Foundation, while it receives support from the Foundation.
Massachusetts Ethical Archaeology Society recovers knoweldge of our ancient communities while respecting the rights and concerns of these communities. The Society serves to correct the historical bias, destruction, and disservice of archaeology in Massachusetts.
