Exploring, enjoying, and sharing Indigenous-created art can be a part of the solution for the issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.

Because dehumanization is central to why Indigenous women are first targeted, and then not given as much attention once missing or harmed, more people seeing Native women as relatable is a prevention for both. Just exposure to people and cultures some haven’t noticed before can bring later bring attention when it is needed most.

So find some Indigenous authors and artists and filmmakers and poets and photographers. Find out who touches your heart, and what might touch others, and share it with them.
