First American women, girls and Two Spirit relatives disproportionately face higher rates of murder, violence and disappearance than other ethnicities. This silent crisis is often called Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) or Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP). Planned in collaboration with grassroots organizations, this event is open to all community members and will provide opportunity for reflection and learning.
Sponsored by Gregg Wadley and Susan E. Brackett.
Event Activities
Join us for a come-and-go event:
- Informational booths in Hall of The People
- Arts activities to commemorate those impacted by MMIW/P
- Reflection journey up the Mound summit
- Panel discussion on MMIW/P led by Matriarch at 2 p.m.
A major feature of the day includes monumental installations by artists behind The Wild Mother floral studio. Called the #SendFlowersTo project, these site-specific works of art will serve as a memorial to those lost. Installations will be on view through Monday, May 9.
