Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Medicine Wheel Ride

Every 3 days in the USA, and every 2.6 days in Canada, a Native Woman goes missing from her family and community.

The Ride for Murdered & Missing Indigenous Women was initiated by Shelly Denny of Arizona, as a relay ride around North America, including Mexico, in the shape of a Medicine Wheel. Riders came from the four directions: East, South, West, North, bringing Medicine Prayer Bundles From each direction.

We are praying for our Murdered & Missing Indigenous Women and all lost loved ones and their families.

The 2019 MMIW Medicine Wheel Ride center meeting point was in Topeka, Kansas on June 14, where Riders gathered with the Women’s Freedom Rally and broke the record for the most women riders on one ride in North America. The 2019 MMIW Medicine Wheel riders then went back out their spoke to continue the Medicine Wheel Ride around North America.
