LEVERETT An acknowledgment that the land Leverett occupies was taken from the Nonotuck and Pocumtuck tribes could be made by residents when Annual Town Meeting convenes on Saturday.
The petition article states that “injury and injustice perpetrated on the native peoples by the colonial enterprise blights our collective conscience,” and if adopted would require all future Annual and Special Town Meetings to begin with this reflection. It’s one of 26 articles on the warrant to be taken up starting at 9 a.m. in the parking lot at Leverett Elementary School.

Since then, members of the Warwick Education Committee have been holding regular meetings in hopes of reopening the Warwick Community School as an independent elementary school.
