What does MMIWG2S+ mean? I've never seen it before

MMIWG2S+ stands for missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, two spirit, and the plus is for other relatives. Some people (myself included) have transitioned to saying MMIR to stand for missing and murdered Indigenous relatives, to include our indigenous men who are missing and murdered as well. The movement was started in Canada and the United States but can also apply to Indigenous people globally such as all of turtle island (including what’s how known as Mexico), south and Central America, Australia, Polynesia, etc… In Canada (where I live) it is considered a national crisis and there has been a National inquiry, although the government and police force is still complicit. It is a continuation of genocide and colonialism.

There’s a good docuseries on Hulu that centers Native women including Joy Harjo in remembering and fighting for justice for Annie Mae Aquash

I’d encourage everyone to watch it, especially those unfamiliar with AIM and some of the questions ppl still have about her murder.

I’m wearing braids today for Cole Brings Plenty and the Brings Plenty family, who have suffered a terrible loss. Cole Brings Plenty was murdered and his braids cut off. Today we wear braids to show solidarity with the Brings Plenty family and the indigenous peoples of the world - who have faced far too much violence and oppression. We see you, we stand with you.

Rest in power, Cole.
