As we close out May’s awareness efforts for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S), today we’re sharing more important information.

🔴 Many American Indians and Alaska Natives believe that red connects the physical and spiritual worlds. Wearing red invokes the help of ancestors and spiritual guides — a sacred way to honor those we’ve lost.

🔴 As a non-Native ally, you can continue raising awareness:

- Wear red

= Post on social media using , , ,

Watch and learn through powerful films and podcasts like Fancy Dance and Murder in Bighorn, or listen to Missing and Murdered: Finding Cleo and Not Invisible.

🏹 MMIW cases remain high across many states, especially Oklahoma, Minnesota, Montana, Arizona, Washington, and Alaska.

🖤 Thank you for learning, remembering, and taking action with us this month.
