Rena Priest, Washington State Poet Laureate, on MMIWG: Honoring Our Stolen Sisters

This episode of MoNA Moments is connected to the exhibition, “Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls: Honoring Our Stolen Sisters”, on view in the Outside In Gallery at the Museum of Northwest Art from October 22, 2022 to February 5, 2023. Curated by Pat Paul and Candice Wilson, this exhibition was created to remember, honor and bring awareness to the thousands of Native women and girls who go missing or are murdered each year. This podcast and the artwork in the exhibition represent many tribes in Washington, Alaska and British Columbia, Canada. In this episode of MoNA Moments, you will hear Rena Priest, member of the Lummi Nation and the incumbent Washington State Poet Laureate, share a poem and story excerpt in connection with the topic of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls. Thank you for listening to this MoNA Moment.
