We wish you all the best in this holiday season, and Happy New Year! Please stay tuned for details on our January Gathering, as we are in the process of confirming a date with our presenter, Sofia Locklear. Sofia is an Indigneous woman from the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, with a depth of knowledge and experience around the relationship of non-Native people doing work with Indigenous communities.
In the meantime, we are excited to announce the MMIWW Blanket Project! Please continue reading for more details and support as you are able, by donating, posting flyers, sharing with friends, etc:

Blanket Project
"Traditionally, Native Americans gift giving in a sacred manner has always been a 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
