In observance of Thanksgiving, GNM’s office will be closed on Thursday, November 28, and Friday, November 29. We will reopen on Monday, December 2. As we pause to reflect on gratitude and family, we also recognize that Thanksgiving holds different meanings and complex histories, especially for Indigenous communities. This holiday can be a time for reflection and honoring the resilience and cultures of Native American peoples. We wish everyone a peaceful few days and look forward to reconnecting next week.
