JB Media Land Acknowledgment Statement

JB Media is located in Asheville, NC, on the unceded ancestral lands of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians. Those of us in the WNC region are working and living on land that was systemically stolen from its original stewards. We see this acknowledgment as a tiny part of a more significant collective work to build equitable relationships and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.

As an ethical marketing agency, it is our responsibility to recognize the sovereignty and traditional territories of these tribal nations, the treaties used to remove them, and the histories of dispossession that have allowed for the growth of our agency since our founding in 2013. Consistent with JB Media’s Ethical Marketing Policy, Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) Policy, and commitment to community involvement, understanding the historical and current experiences of Native peoples helps inform the work we do every day.

Our company honors and respects the many diverse indigenous people who came before us, who are still here, and who are connected to the land on which we reside.
