Hello friends and family,
Please join me and Learning Right Relations in solidarity with Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Washington by supporting the MMIWW Blanket Project. Nationally, the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Men, Women, Children and Two-Spirits is wide-spread. Homicide is the third leading cause of death for Native Americans 10-24 years old.
MMIWW advocates and provides support service for survivors and families of Indigenous people who have gone missing and/or been murdered. Follow them on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/MMIWWashington/.
"Traditionally, Native American gift giving in a sacred manner has always been part of our culture. Giving and receiving a blanket is one of the highest forms of respect in honoring someone. MMIWW would like to give away blankets with our logo on to survivors, families, and community members. Helping to bless others by giving and honoring, will be a blessing for you, your families, and your organizations."
Earth - Feather Sovereign Director/Founder, MMIWW
