Chicago Blackhawks to Honor Indigenous People

The Chicago Blackhawks NHL team announced on Sunday the team plans to open its home games and other events by reading an Indigenous land acknowledgment.

The hockey team committed on the first day of Native American Heritage Month to making a land acknowledgement, or “a formal statement that recognizes the unique and enduring relationship that exists between Indigenous Peoples and their traditional territories.”
