This week, to honor Native American Heritage Month, we are turning to the difficult and heavy - but important - topic of MMIW, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2 Spirits. These cases are super hard to talk about, but we want to continue to shine a light on these way-too-prevalent atrocities. Featuring a beautiful two-spirit person’s resilience in the face of bullying, a woman who disappeared at the height of COVID, and a controversial murder at the heart of the American Indian Movement. Colonial violence continues, so join us in bringing attention to these cases, and raging against the white supremacist patriarchal injustice that so many - especially indigenous women, girls, and two spirits - face.
