Media Alert: Plimoth Patuxet Museums to Host Film Screening and Discussion in Recognition of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women’s Month

Plymouth, Massachusetts (May 1, 2026) – Plimoth Patuxet Museums invites the community to a special screening and discussion of the powerful film “Who She Is” presented in recognition of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women’s Month (MMIW).

“Who She Is” highlights the lives of four Indigenous women caught in the MMIW epidemic. By bringing these missing women to life on screen, through animation and first-person storytelling, the documentary aims to humanize the people behind the statistics, bringing critical visibility to the ongoing crisis of violence and disappearance affecting Native women across Turtle Island.

Community information tables at the event will feature resources focused on advocacy, education, and healing. Following the film screening, guests are invited to stay for a discussion with Junise Bliss, the Founder and CEO of the Sweetgrass Cultural Enrichment Center, a Native-led nonprofit dedicated to preserving cultural heritage, honoring traditional knowledge, and empowering the next generations through advocacy and education. Additionally, the evening will feature a special hand drum performance by Keon Jackson from Wetu Ways, and an artist table will highlight Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women artwork. Proceeds from this evening will support the Museum’s educational mission.
