About This Event

Join us on November 15, 2024, from 1-4 pm for our 8th Annual CAM™ and Red Sands event. This is an event that we started in 2017 to raise awareness and justice as a call to action around Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIRW). Since then, our Annual CAM & Red Sands event has grown in support and community gathering. Every year our event moves throughout the city to honor and remember those impacted by the MMIWR crisis. Together we will hold space for community grieving and healing.

More than 4 out of 5 Indigenous women have experienced violence, and they are murdered at rates 10 times higher than women of other ethnicities. Additionally, 40% of those impacted by sex trafficking are Indigenous women, girls, and relatives. These staggering statistics highlight the depth of this crisis and its painful impact on Indigenous communities.

The 8th annual CAM™ & Red Sands Event will feature:

  • Indigenous speakers
  • A grief vigil walk leading into the Red Sands Project participatory earthwork installation
  • The opportunity to visit our CAMPsite™ to check out healing and wellness activities and services presented by the HIR Wellness Institute team.

We invite you to engage in creative activism through our Red Sands Project earthwork. This initiative uses bold red sand to create a visual statement, raising awareness of the MMIWR and sex trafficking crises while promoting healing.

Our CAM™ Mental Health Without Borders ™CAMPsite™ (Community Activated Medicine Provider Site™) team of licensed mental health providers, trained wellness providers, community healers, and advocacy staff will be onsite to provide immediate grief and emotional support.

Together, we will grieve, honor, and heal for our ancestors, our people, and future generations. Let us gather in solidarity and support for our community.
