Helping others heal: First Nations advocates reflect on MMIWG awareness – Alaska Highway News
Northern Lights College hosted an international talk this week about missing and murdered indigenous women and girls.
Helen Knott, director of Indigenous Education at the college, hosted a virtual one-on-one with fellow advocate Agnes Woodward for a conversation about the May 5 National Day of Awareness, represented by the symbol of a red dress meant to bring attention to the ongoing crisis.
Originally from Saskatoon, Woodward is from Kawacatoose First Nation (Treaty 4) and now lives in North Dakota, where she works as the director of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples Storytelling Project through Seeding Sovereignty, a non-profit advocacy organization.
