Media Alert: Plimoth Patuxet Museums to Host Free Screening of “Bring Her Home”
Educational and cultural program expanding awareness of the missing and murdered Indigenous women crisis will follow
Plymouth, Massachusetts (May 28, 2025) – Plimoth Cinema, Plimoth Patuxet’s arthouse cinema, will host a free screening of the PBS documentary “Bring Her Home” on Friday, May 30, 7 - 9 pm, to commemorate Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women’s Month (MMIW). By focusing on the work of Indigenous women activists whose traditional homelands are in what is now more commonly known as the state of Minnesota, the film provides an introduction to and useful case study for the MMIW crisis.
Following the film, Vickie Wakanabo, Mashpee Wampanoag elder, and Rachel Winters, citizen of the Cherokee Nation (ᏣᎳᎩᎯ ᎠᏰᎵ) and current PhD student at UMASS Boston, will lead a discussion about the impact of missing and murdered Indigenous women in their communities.
The evening will close with a traditional jingle dance performed by Katie Balbuena (Mashpee Wampanoag) and accompanied by hand drummer Tatanka Gibson (Haliwa-Saponi and Nansemond). This dance honors missing women and those affected by this crisis.
This program is funded in part by Mass Humanities, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
