Honoring Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People with a Red Sand Project Installation.
Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit Relatives Experience disproportionately high rates of violence.
On some reservations, murder rates are 10x the national average.
Homicide is the 3rd leading cause of death for Indigenous women in the US.
Red Sand Project Installation
Meet in front of Barrington Student Union 11am-1pm to receive your sand kit and instructions to add to the campus installation. We will be filling the cracks around campus with red sand to symbolize those that have fallen through the cracks. Take pictures and share on social media with #RedSandProject, #MMIWG2S, #NoMoreStolenSisters More Info about the Red Sand Project can be found on their website.
