The editors of Dead River Review acknowledge and are mindful that Middlesex Community College stands on lands that were originally occupied by people of the Pennacook, Pawtucket, Massachusett, Wamesit, and Nipmuc tribes. We recognize their distinctive spiritual relationship with this land and the waters that run nearby our campuses, including the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. We would like to thank the Pennacook, Pawtucket, Massachusett, Wamesit, Nipmuc, and other native peoples for providing us the opportunity to create our literary publication, Dead River Review, on their ancestral lands.
