This week, May 4^th-8^th, is the 2026 National Week of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives. The alarming rates of abduction and murder of Native women represent one of the most devastating issues facing Tribal communities. On some reservations, Native women face murder rates more than ten times the national average. Grassroots movements have grown at the local, regional, national, and international levels to honor lives lost and work toward lasting safety and justice for all missing and murdered Indigenous women and relatives. During this week you may see Indigenous Students and supporters using the Red Hand Symbol on posters, clothing or persons to symbolically represent and raise awareness for these relatives. To learn how you can also support and raise awareness, visit the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center to support and ensure that there’s No More Stolen Sisters.
