No More Stolen Sister's
Indigenous women wear red as a powerful symbol of both mourning and defiance. The color red, vibrant and bold, represents the lives of the countless missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls whose voices have been silenced. It is said that red is the only color spirits can see, and by wearing it, these women call back the spirits of those lost, ensuring they are not forgotten.
Each time they wear red, it is an act of resistance against the erasure of their sisters, mothers, daughters, and friends. It is a statement that their lives matter, that their stories will not be buried in silence. The red fabric clings to their bodies like the memory of those taken, its deep hue symbolizing both the blood that has been shed and the enduring strength that flows through their veins.
For these women, wearing red is a way to keep the memory of the missing alive, to demand justice, and to honor those who have been stolen from them. It is a visible cry for recognition, a plea for the world to see the pain that has too long been ignored. When they wear red, they carry the weight of their ancestors, the grief of their communities, and the unbreakable will to protect the generations yet to come.
