Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art acknowledges it resides on the ancestral territory of the Osage, Kaw, and Otoe-Missouria, among other tribal nations forcibly moved to the region such as the Shawnee, Wyandot, Delaware, Potawatomi, Sac and Fox and Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo) nations. We recognize and support the continued vibrancy of Native communities and cultures today who continue to thrive, as well as the inherent sovereignty of tribal nations. We are compelled to serve and advocate for these communities in accordance with our public mission.

Kemper Museum acknowledges and respects the diversity of Native people connected to this land today. Many recognize the land and all beings who live within it as relatives. We acknowledge the earth we inhabit, the waters of the Blue River, the Kansas River, the Missouri River, and the plants, animals, and people supported by them. 

We acknowledge our responsibility to be good caretakers of the land we occupy.

In response to the recent focus on Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, UMB, and a detention facility in Rhode Island:

Kemper Museum fully supports a safe and welcome space for dialogue and discussion on topics that are important to the community and its future, thoughtfully exploring issues and solutions.

Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art does not condone the physical or psychological harm, verbal abuse, harassment, humiliation, or exploitation, systematic or otherwise, of individuals or groups. 

We are proud of the long-standing history of our Museum, and the contributions this intellectual and cultural home has made in our community. We welcome all voices, as we remain committed to who we are and to our values. 

In keeping with this commitment, we are engaging a group of community members to hold constructive dialogue on this issue. We understand that there are many viewpoints, and we want to be responsive by listening intently. We look forward to this convening in the days ahead and welcome productive and respectful conversations.
