The Washington Elm

"A myth is a fanciful picture of the past designed to justify certain activities in the present." — Bernard Williams

Cambridge, Massachusetts is on the traditional and ancestral land of the Massachusett people. The Massachusett are the original inhabitants of the area, with their territory historically stretching across what is now the Boston and Cambridge region.
