WHO IS DEER WOMAN?
Across many Indigenous cultures, Deer Woman is a fierce protector of women and children. She represents strength, justice, and the sacred bond between earth and spirit.
WHY THIS MONUMENT MATTERS
The MMIW crisis is a national and international tragedy. Countless Indigenous women have disappeared or have been murdered – often with little or no investigation.
This monument brings visibility, healing, and hope. Her blanket of earth holds 350 faces – each representing a life stolen, a family grieving, a community demanding change. The red handprint across her face represents the silenced voices of the MMIW. It signifies the lack of attention and action demanding justice and remembrance.
Phase 1: Maquette Creation & Preparation
Phase 2: Four Foot Enlargement (Fundraising Sculpture)
Phase 3. Ten Foot Monument
SUPPORT THE MISSION
I am currently seeking to partner with an established Indigenous nonprofit to host a fundraiser and would love suggestions on both the nonprofit and the placement of this monument; in the meantime, every donation or share makes a difference, and if you'd like to contribute directly, I’m accepting donations via Zelle and Venmo.
