This episode of MoNA Moments is connected to the exhibition, “Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls: Honoring Our Stolen Sisters”, on view in the Outside In Gallery at the Museum of Northwest Art from October 22, 2022 to February 5, 2023. Curated by Pat Paul and Candice Wilson, this exhibition was created to remember, honor and bring awareness to the thousands of Native women and girls who go missing or are murdered each year. This podcast and the artwork in the exhibition represent many tribes in Washington, Alaska and British Columbia, Canada.

In this episode of MoNA Moments, you will hear the story of one anonymous survivor. Listeners should be advised of sensitive content.

In addition to the artwork in the exhibition, this podcast was created to raise awareness of the murder rates and to provide hope to return our stolen sisters. The story you just heard reflects the strength, resilience, and determination of our Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls survivors and their families.

For more information about the “Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls: Honoring Our Stolen Sisters” art exhibition and for educational resources, you can visit www.monamuseum.org/outside-in-gallery-mmiwg.

It is our hope that these resources will help raise awareness about this human rights crisis and to support survivors and families impacted by this national tragedy.
