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
