Episode #119 - This Fantastic Fellas Friday - We talk about Dwayne Lawrence who is a man fighting to bring awareness to what’s happening to indigenous women in America.  He, along with MMIW (Murdered/Missing Indigenous Women) need America and the world to know what is happening to women in their communities, and how it’s not getting the attention it deserves.  What are indigenous peoples (AMERICAN INDIANS, ALASKA NATIVES, AND NATIVE HAWAIIANS) people who are inheritors and practitioners of unique cultures and ways of relating to people and the environment. They have retained social, cultural, economic and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant societies in which they live.  Today, October 8, 2021, President Joe Biden, Jr. signed a proclamation for Indigenous People Day.  What is Indigenous Peoples' Day?  Itis a holiday that celebrates and honors Native American peoples and commemorates their histories and cultures. On October 8th, 2021, President Joe Biden signed a presidential proclamation declaring October 11th to be a national holiday.  WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY?
