More about the Miller Worley Center
The Miller Worley Center for the Environment humbly acknowledges that the land on which we reside, learn and work is the ancestral home of the Nonotuck, neighbored by the ancestral lands of the Nipmuc and the Wampanoag to the East, the Mohegan and Pequot to the South, the Mohican to the West, and the Abenaki to the North.
Recognizing that the history of environmentalism has been fraught with injustices towards Indigenous peoples, we strive to honor and respect the history of the original inhabitants of this beautiful land as we also work to steward it.
