Sinopsis

Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) is a humaitarian crisis effecting Native communities around the world. Activists are pushing for awareness and change for the staggering amount of Native women who have been ‘stolen’ from their families and communities by violence. The problem is pervasive:

  • In some areas of the United states, Indigenous women are murdered at a rate 10 times higher than other ethnicities, with the majority of crimes committed on Native-owned land by non-Natives.
  • According to the CDC, murder is the third leading cause of death among Native women.
There are a lot of reasons why Native women are so over-represented in violent statistics– lack of attention from the media, legal and jurisdictional issues, lack of communication between local, tribal and state law enforcement, and more.

To create this book, a team of writers from many cultural backgrounds came together to write stories, poems, plays, and essays to raise awareness for MMIW.

All proceeds from this book will split equally between the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center (NIWRC) and the Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC).
