Today, with the image on the GBH digital mural and with GBH’s Land Acknowledgement below, we recognize Missing or Murdered Indigenous Persons Awareness Day and join the Nation-to-Nation efforts to remember the many lives shattered or lost, and commit to working with Native communities to find justice, keep families safe, and help them heal. Read President Biden’s entire proclamation here.
GBH honors the Massachusett, Wampanoag, and Nipmuc peoples, whose ancestral lands provide the foundation for GBH’s Massachusetts studios, bureaus, and transmitter. We honor the cultures, contributions, and connections of Native Indigenous peoples to our work, our local community, our Commonwealth, and our nation. Further, we recognize the importance of moving beyond acknowledgment towards action. We commit to learning from, including, and elevating Native Indigenous peoples’ perspectives, voices, and languages locally and nationally through our public media mission.
