The purpose of the Red Tipi is to raise awareness never forgetting our Missing and Murdered Relatives and to support their families in any way we can.
The Intention of the Red Tipi is to create relationships, strengthening bonds that deepen our
connection to one another affirming the beauty of our humanity..
As we restore our ancestral
memories of who we are, we can unify, locally, nationally and even Globally.
In our Collective Power The Red Tipi brings us together throughout Turtle Island to Honor our
Stolen Sisters and Relatives by acknowledging they were loved, they mattered, and to lift up
their families.
Weaving together our Territories, standing in our Sovereignty to end the
devastating inhumane continuation of Violence against Indigenous Peoples seen as MMIW/R..
The Red Tipi also is intended to hold space to confront the establishments that don't hear us,
render us invisible and don't represent us. They belong in front of Sheriff's stations who don't
listen to us, put in front of media who don't see us, and be raised on the steps of Capitol
buildings who don't speak for us.
The Red Tipi lets them know
WE ARE STILL HERE.

Sacred Altars of the MMIW
Since May of 2018, we committed to a Daily Sunrise Prayer Run for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Sisters and their families. The intent of the prayers was to directly spiritually confront the Spirit of Violence Against Women and Call upon the healing powers of our ancestors to mend the hurting families who have survived the loss of a loved one.
The first run, the prayer included gathering, which became prayer altars that began to take shape on earthen canvas in places prayed. These expressions of healing medicine continued to develop for nearly 3 years. They were photographed and shared as a reminder of the power of Prayer, our ancestors and Sisters we’ve lost. The Altars compose an Archive spanning from Savanah Le Fontaine Greywind to Selena Not Afraid two visible stories of our Missing Women.
