Today, we take a moment to observe #RedShawlDay. Red Shawl Day brings attention to the acts of violence committed against Indigenous peoples, particularly women and children. According to the Department of Justice, American Indian and Alaska Native women are missing and murdered at a rate of more than 10 times the national average. Throughout the week surrounding November 19, people are encouraged to wear red as a symbol of the loss of sacred lifeblood through violence. As part of this observance, you may see National Park Service staff wearing red shawls.
