Sterling College
Sterling acknowledges that the land on which we gather—places now known as Vermont and Kentucky—are the traditional and unceded territories of several indigenous peoples: the Abenaki in the North and the Shawnee, Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Osage people to the South.

As we seek deep reciprocal relationships with nature, we respect and honor the place-based and cultural wisdom of indigenous ancestors and contemporaries. Words of acknowledgement and intention are just a first step. We must match them with acts of respect and repair.

Just an example of the sweet rides 🚲 you'll see around campus. There is a small fleet of Green Bikes that anyone in the Sterling Community can use for intercampus transportation. Currently, we have about 20 bicycles which are maintained by students through the Work Program. https://t.co/chaXOEPyA2
