Description

From the artist Demian DinéYazhi’:
"This piece was originally made in recognition of Missing & Murdered Indigenous Womxn’s Day, which is held every year on May 5th.
Some statistics courtesy of the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women:
4 out of 5 Native women are affected by violence today.
The U.S. Department of Justice found that American Indian women face murder rates that are more than 10 times the national average.
Homicide is the 3rd leading cause of death among 10-24 years of age and the 5th leading cause of death for American Indian and Alaska Native women between 25 and 34 years of age, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In 2016, 5,712 cases of MMIWG were reported, but only 116 of them were logged in the Department of Justice database."
