Missing and murdered Indigenous women honored in walk

SHIPROCK — Christelle Tsosie's mouth was covered by a painted red hand and she held a sign that stated, "No More Stolen Sisters."
The red hand symbolizes solidarity for missing and murdered Indigenous women, an issue that brought Tsosie to participate in a walk on May 5 to remember and honor the women.
"Native women are sacred," Tsosie said.
Biden's action is among those in recent years by federal leaders to focus on missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. While women and girls remains the anchor, the issue has developed to include all Native people.
The U.S. Department of Justice reported that, in tribal communities, Native American women face murder rates that are more than 10 times the national average.
