Missing & Murdered indigenous women
This work, like the healing and painting work, is a living sacrament. This calling isn't the hands-on curing yet it is no less a hearing the call of God and heeding the simple, yet Universal prayer to "save my daughters."
​
The integrity with which I move through this is grounded by the absolute trust in the goodness of the earth and the power of Her deepest love. This work is a veneration for the dead, far beyond ceremony, and a recognition that bones speak when voices can't. The ground and water have carried their prayers to me since 2017.
​
There is a type of honor in being asked by God and Ground to walk the holy way, tell the holiness and ask others, in the name of that love and goodness and honor to, if nothing else, recognize truth. And, if they're courageous enough, to assist.

On September 6, 2017, I received a message from a Navajo police officer that included a missing person's flyer for a young Diné woman. He asked, "What do you feel from this?"
​
That one question has led to a seven year journey with a near-singular focus on bringing to light the organized criminal networks that perpetuate the disappearance and murders of Indigenous women across the North American continent. Though the #MMIW phenomenon has several components, my focus has been on how the relationship between the Sinaloa cartel and Indian gaming perpetuates the sexual trafficking and murder of women and girls across Indian Country.
​
Because I have been shunned by the communities Ancestors have sent me to, ignored by tribal & federal law enforcement (except when I've been surveilled) and because I live with a sizeable price on my head, how and when this information is shared is important.
​
Revelation will be done in a prayerful way, in a manner that extends hope and grace to all involved, and redefines the limitations of 'justice'. This journey is lit & fueled by the power of the deepest love and I move guided by Her grace.
​
Start here. At the moment, this evolving documentation will be replicated from my blog so it can be accessed either way. However, the blog will contain thing not related to #MMIW.
