"With tons of cameras and fans around, a glitzy movie or television premiere is certainly the perfect place to make a bold statement be seen and heard — whether it be a fashion one, or something much bigger. At the premiere of Amazon’s The Power in New York City earlier this week, series star Auli’i Cravalho did both: The actor used her red carpet look to spotlight the growing epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW).

Cravalho — who is a Hawaiian native and also voiced Moana in the 2016 Disney film— punctuated her floral-print Naeem Khan dress with a red handprint painted across her face. The color red — and specifically, red handprints — has become a symbol within the Indigenous community to represent the MMIW movement, which aims to spotlight how Indigenous women are disproportionally affected by violence. "I'm representing No More Stolen sisters and bringing light to murdered and Indigenous women," Cravalho told Entertainment Tonight at the event."

Today is Red dress day. Remember and Honour all of the Native Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two spirits that have gone missing and have been murdered. Most of these cases are never heard in the public and they are sadly forgotten. Today I want to spread awareness for all Indigenous people, I want to share my culture and help others understand the importance of sharing stories from these victims.

I will be donating as well on this day to several sites that support native women and girls. And also a few sites that want to protect ICWA. I suggest you do the same but if you are not financially able to then spread awareness respectfully.����🧡

(I’m doing Donation commission 50% of the profits go to NICWA! this post-> https://www.tumblr.com/walterdoodles/719214714265255936/im-opening-up-some-donation-commissions-if-you )

The Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women: An Ongoing Tragedy

Shaina Tranquilino

October 4, 2023

The issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women is a devastating tragedy that has plagued Indigenous communities for decades. Despite being deeply rooted in the history of colonization, it remains an ongoing crisis that demands immediate attention. This blog post aims to shed light on this heartbreaking reality and urges society to acknowledge, address, and support initiatives aimed at ending the violence.

A Historical Context:

To truly understand the gravity of the situation, we must recognize the historical context in which this epidemic has unfolded. Since European colonization began in North America, Indigenous women have faced systemic discrimination, marginalization, and violence. These injustices persist today as a direct result of centuries-long oppression and the erosion of Indigenous cultures.

Disturbing Statistics:

The statistics surrounding missing and murdered Indigenous women are both shocking and disheartening. According to a 2016 report by the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), there were over 5,700 cases of missing or murdered Indigenous American women recorded in the United States alone. Alarmingly, many believe these numbers may be underestimated due to underreporting or misclassification by law enforcement agencies.

Root Causes:

Numerous factors contribute to this crisis. Poverty, limited access to education and healthcare services, high rates of domestic violence within communities, institutional racism, inadequate law enforcement response, and human trafficking all play significant roles in perpetuating this cycle of violence against Indigenous women.

The Need for Awareness & Advocacy:

Raising awareness about this issue is crucial towards mobilizing action to end it. It requires educating ourselves and others about the plight faced by Indigenous women who continue to disappear or be victimized every day. Social media campaigns like #MMIWG (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls) have played a pivotal role in bringing attention to their stories while demanding justice.

Government Action & Accountability:

Addressing this crisis necessitates a multi-faceted approach. Governments at all levels must take concrete steps to address the root causes of violence against Indigenous women, including improving collaboration between law enforcement agencies, enhancing victim services, and implementing culturally sensitive policies. Additionally, funding programs that empower Indigenous communities and strengthen support systems are essential for long-term change.

Community Empowerment:

Indigenous communities have been fighting tirelessly to protect their women and girls. Supporting grassroots organizations led by Indigenous people who understand the unique challenges faced by their community is crucial in eradicating this issue. By amplifying voices from within these communities, we can ensure that culturally appropriate solutions are implemented while fostering healing and resilience.

The missing and murdered Indigenous women crisis demands urgent attention from society as a whole. Recognizing the historical context, understanding the systemic issues involved, advocating for awareness, holding governments accountable, and empowering affected communities are all integral components of bringing an end to this deeply entrenched tragedy.

To honour the lives lost and prevent future victimization, it is our collective responsibility to stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities and work towards creating a world where every woman feels safe, valued, and protected. Only through unity can we hope to achieve justice for the missing and murdered Indigenous women who deserve nothing less than our unwavering commitment to ending this heartbreaking reality once and for all.

Please, please, please, if you have a moment and feel so inclined, sign this petition. This poor man didn't deserve what happened to him. His sister didn't either. His parents should not have had to bury a child, much less both of them. Demand justice for the Brings Plenty family. PLEASE! Braid your hair if you're able to show your respect and sympathy. Please don't let the system fail yet another native brother.

Normally I try to keep it entertaining but I just wrote this down and feel like it should be shared.

Little something I think y’all should know about me is that I’m training to be basically a genocide historian.

I study the darkest parts of humanities history, how these atrocities happened, what happened during these atrocities, the aftermath of these atrocities. Frankly history has repeated itself because we have yet to fucking learn.

Proper through education about the atrocities of the past and the present are the only way to ensure a less bloody future.

That’s why I try to be an ally for movements like No More Stolen Sisters. Or any movement that fighting for basic humanitarian needs.

At the end of the day, I am a humanitarian. And firmly believe that we need to have the compassion to confront hatred.

Osiyo nigvda. I belong to the Anigiloi of the Eastern Band of the great Tsalagi nation, who remain on our ancestral homeland along the Ocanaluftee river, where the Uktena lives.

I reside on the unceded territory of the Lummi Nation, Nooksack Tribe, and Coast Salish peoples. I honor the stewards of these lands and waterways, and give recognition and love to Kama Kulshan and the orca and salmon people of the Salish sea.

Today we remember and mourn the children that were stolen from us across Turtle Island, and we celebrate that we are still here. We survived, and we remember.
