Today, we honor the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People.
Indigenous women and girls face violence at an alarming rate—more than 10 times the national average. According to the National Institute of Justice, 84% of Native women have experienced violence, and they are 10 times more likely to be murdered than the national average.
The red shawl symbolizes strength, resilience, and the voices of those we’ve lost. It serves as a visible reminder of the ongoing crisis affecting Indigenous communities across North America.
