After more than 2,500 Cambridge residents made their voices heard during the participatory budget vote in 2021, more than 70 new street signs in East Cambridge will include translations into the native Massachusett language.
Sage Carbone, a Cambridge resident, proposed the participatory budget item to add traditional Native translations to city signs, along with commemorating Native American sites in Cambridge with markers.
“Any representation is missing,” she said. Carbone is a member of the Northern Narragansett Indian Tribe of Rhode Island with Nipmuc, Massachusett ancestry.

I am originally from the US Southwest yet I have never seen an “ALTO” stop sign anywhere except in Mexico.

Dad was from New Bedford. I’m still smiling imagining his Boston’ese :-))
Though there were supposedly horses indigenous to north america a few thousand years ago post Colombian ‘Indians’ didn’t have horses until they were brought over from Europe.
What languages does the Center for Marxist Studies have on their sign? (are they still in Central Square?)
The crazy continues. Yet another reason to be glad I fled Cambridge in 1977, never to return.
Yes but that is how most Americans experienced the Indians during our early days. They were on horseback.
Probably saw a YouTube video of the ‘70’s “Keep America Beautiful” commercial with the fake Indian, cementing her mental illness. Thanks, Internet.
“Ahqeesh”
Those ‘Baby Names’ books must have a hard time keeping up.
My first take was they would change the street signs to read “No Pahking Zone”.
Now them injuns won’t be speeding and running stop signs.

Heh, me too, but...they don’t talk like that in Cambridge!
Didn't know the tribe let in Italians.
Horses are a European import, like the honey bee. America once had undomesticated horses, but the illegal immigrants from China ate them all. These days, illegals should make themselves useful and get to work eating those Canada geese.
Hey Boston, just give up on this thing called America then if it causes you so much grief because of street names.
What about liquor store signs? Is “Packie” Massachusett or are they just the owners?
There is a price to be paid for being stylish.
He’s the Indian crying at the garbage dump.
