Today I Wear Red: Lame Deer, Montana
In Lame Deer, MT, on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation, a walk for the National Day of Awareness was organized by Melinda Harris Limberhand, mother of Hanna Harris, and family. Hanna’s extended family, Senator Steve Daines, the tribal liaison for Senator Jon Tester, tribal leadership, community members, and advocates joined the walk. The NIWRC national office is located in Lame Deer and NIWRC was honored to join the walkers and provide the meal afterwards for all participants.
—Lucy Simpson, NIWRC, Executive Director.
Today is a meaningful day to commemorate Hanna’s life and the lives of others in Indian communities with similar stories, many of which go untold and unreported. We stand together as a nation, in solidarity to say this epidemic of missing and murdered Native women and girls must stop.
—Senator Steve Daines
