October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Please show your support by learning about the signs and what you can do to support those affected by violence. American Indian/Alaska Native people have the highest rates of domestic and s*xual violence, children removed from their homes and families that have loved ones missing or that have been murdered. Throughout the month of October, Mending the Sacred Hoop will be sharing information on domestic violence to help in recognizing the signs and what you can do to help.

The Annual Sheila St. Clair and MMIW/R Awareness Community Gathering was a beautiful time of connection and remembrance. Seeing young people take part in poster making underscored why conversations about healthy relationships matter. Mending the Sacred Hoop Director Cinnamon Bankey shared about MSH’s work and the importance of domestic violence awareness. Thank you to everyone who came together to honor Sheila and Peter Martin and support families seeking answers.
