MIDNIGHT LAND COLLECTIVE

OUR MISSION

We are a Wampanoag-led conservation collaborative dedicated to the rematriation of our ancestral homelands on Nôepe (Martha’s Vineyard), Nantucket and surrounding lands. Our work centers on protecting Island biodiversity, advancing climate justice, and practicing regenerative agriculture as pathways to nourish both the land and our people. Rooted in traditional Wôpanâak knowledge systems and lifeways, we restore Indigenous stewardship through land return, cultural revitalization, and Indigenous-led wellness initiatives.

OUR COMMITMENTS

REMATRIATION

We are committed to restoring our ancestral lands, guided by the wôpanâak understanding that land is not a commodity or something that we can own - It is a literal extension of our being, and a living, breathing part of us.

REGENERATION OVER EXTRACTION

We practice regenerative agriculture and land care that nourishes rather than depletes — restoring balance between people, plants, soil, our waters and our non-human relatives. Follow the journey of an Island Wide Wôpanâak Farm.

WELL-BEING THROUGH CONNECTION

We believe that land healing and community healing are inseparable. Our programs uplift Indigenous wellness, ceremony, and cultural reconnection.

SOVEREIGNTY NOT SYMBOLISM

We move beyond performative inclusion — centering Indigenous leadership, voices, and values in all we do. Providing land protection, management and cultural consulting for organizations. Educational workshops and retreats.
