Portraits in RED honors missing and murdered Indigenous people
"Portraits in RED: Missing & Murdered Indigenous Peoples Painting Project" is on display at the Michele and Donald D’Amour Museum of Fine Arts in Springfield, Massachusetts. Created by Métis artist Nayana LaFond, the exhibit features portraits of missing and murdered Indigenous people, family members, or advocates, each marked with a red handprint symbolizing the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women’s movement. Indigenous women and girls are disproportionately represented among cases involving missing and murdered people in the U.S. The exhibit is open through September 7. A reception is set for April 10.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government for everyone who cares about transparency in Native issues. Our work bridges the gap left by tribal-controlled media and non-Native, extractive journalism, providing the insights necessary for truly informed decision-making and a better quality of life. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise.
