In a heartfelt effort to raise awareness about the ongoing crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW), the Ho-Chunk Nation hosted a 5K run/walk.
Indigenous women, girls and LGBTQ peoples are six times more likely to be murdered than their non-Indigenous counterparts, the First Nations Leadership Council said.
Models in uniquely designed red dresses are taking to the runway in British Columbia this weekend to make a powerful fashion statement about missing and murdered Indigenous women.
Sunday, May 5, is National Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples (MMIP) Awareness Day. Native communities and organizations across Indian Country will gather over the weekend to draw attention to the MMIP Crisis and honor those who have been impacted the most. The first proclamation declaring May 5 MMIP Day was issued in 2017.
