Remembering Our Sisters Forum
May 5, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm CDT
Indigenous women, girls, trans, and two-spirit individuals experience violence, sexual assault, go missing, and are murdered at the highest rates of any ethnic group. This epidemic of injustice has become known as the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirits+ (MMIWG2S+) crisis. In response, the Center for Native American Youth developed the Remembering Our Sisters Fellowship, a virtual storytelling and digital arts program that empowers young Indigenous women and femme-identifying leaders (ages 18-24) to raise awareness, honor our sisters and families affected, and push for better policies that address the epidemic.
Join us to learn more about the Remembering Our Sister Fellowship, hear from the inaugural class of fellows about their work and policy recommendations, and remember our lost relatives. The forum is co-hosted by the Center for Native American Youth and Native Americans in Philanthropy.
