Remarkable MMIW, Lisa LaRue-Baker; Konrad Pumpkin Seed

Indigenous activists use clothing to spread awareness about issues that matter to them. Lisa LaRue Baker wore this outfit to the 2024 Nexstar Media Remarkable Women awards to honor her Native American citizenship while bringing attention to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW). She stated that these women “…truly are the remarkable women, not me.” Konrad Pumpkin Seed, who painted the front and back of the jacket, said, “MMIW cases have always made me uneasy, so I’ve been trying my hardest to use my platform to speak out and educate others!”
