There is a red handprint on the crown of this Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women headdress, which is a well-known symbol of the MMIW movement. The second and third rows of beads feature a pattern of women holding hands. The next row features a lifeline pattern. The long strands of the train have bright red and dark red beads representing the more than 5,000 missing and murdered Indigenous women in the United States. Each bead represents a lost Indigenous woman or girl. At the ends of the longest strands, there is a metal charm shaped like a hand with a spiral in the middle. The spiral is an Alutiiq symbol for a passageway into the spirit world and it connects us with those who have been lost.
