Natives and First Nations use the red handprint to shed light on the ongoing genocide of our Missing and Murdered relatives.
Bastardizing it to celebrate a Nazi is Indigenous erasure, bigoted, and absolutely gross.

They didn't want to search the landfill. Too costly. Not worth it.
Our people are worth more than any amount of money spent to bring them home.

#PrayerHorseRide Prepares for Sacred Journey 2025
"We do not sell our #MotherEarth or profit off of her, Mother Earth is here to take care of us and teach us our natural ways of Life! I pray we all stand to protect our Mother,” - Josh Dini, Sr., Walker River Pauite Tribe, #WaterProtector, #PrayerHorseRider and a member of #AIM Northern Nevada.
By Prayer Horse Ride, via #CensoredNews
SCHURZ, Nevada -- "The Prayer Horse Ride is getting ready to begin our 4th annual sacred journey March 21st – April 2nd, across Nevada in the ancestral lands of the Numu (#Paiute) and Newe (#Shoshone), through Yerington, Fallon, Wadsworth, Nixon, Lovelock to McDermitt, and ending near Orovada, honoring #PeeheeMuhuh (#ThackerPass in the McDermitt Caldera).
"Those Riders, Walkers, and Runners carry the prayerful energy with each community. They'll move forward to raise awareness regarding water usage and #NativeAmericanGraves Protection and
Repatriation Act concerns about #lithium mining in Peehee Mu'huh and within the McDermitt Caldera.
"The Ride also raises awareness of several #EndangeredSpecies in #FishLakeValley (#TecopaBirdsBeak, #TiehmsBuckwheat, and #TuiChub), a place Newe gathered foods and medicines, held sacred ceremonies, and where a proposed lithium boron mine would violate the #AmericanIndianReligiousFreedomAct."

"The wide-ranging search for #NevaehKingbird was the first supported by [#Minnesota's] new #MissingandMurderedIndigenousRelatives #MMIR office and the largest of the 13 searches for the girl conducted by the Bemidji Police Department. The two-day event earlier this week included about 200 friends, family, community members and law enforcement officials covering a grid of about 150 acres through waist-high fields, forest area and swampland."

Today is Natl Awareness Day for Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women, known in some places as Red Dress Day. We wear red to bring awareness to #MMIWG2S #MMIW. Nearly 1/3 of Native women have been raped, more than twice as high as white women.

56% of Alaska Native/Native American women have experienced sexual violence. In Alaska, Alaska Native women are 2.8 times as likely to experience sexual violence than white women.

'“It’s not new to anybody. It’s ‘Who is it this week?’ Who is it today?’” said Stephanie Skinaway, a citizen of Red Lake Nation and Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, adding: “Every person here can probably name someone.” '
"The movement in the U.S. and Canada around Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives, sometimes referred to as the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women movement, exists to spread awareness about how Indigenous people are more likely to be victims of violence than people of other races."
"Native American women and girls comprise only 1% of the state's population but made up 8% of all murdered women and girls in Minnesota from 2010 through 2018."
