This year’s BIG Read explores indigenous peoples and more specifically violence and violence against indigenous women. We are going to get involved by calling for public attention to missing and murder indigenous women, b/c, as the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center states, “it is more than an epidemic—instead is part of the spectrum of violence experienced by Native women.” We will call public attention to missing and murdered indigenous peoples by joining in with a red hand print over your mouth, the symbol of the Missing and Murder Indigenous Women (MMIW) movement, or on paper to be displayed afterwards. The days, times and locations where you can make a handprint are listed below.
