Women from across Turtle Island came together at The Oceti Sakowin Camp to facilitate workshops for three days in support of healing survivors of rape, abuse, and harassment. Daily healing circles were conducted to help create safe spaces for survivors to share stories. The events culminated in a march that brought awareness to the parallels between the abuse of kunsi/unci (Grandmother Earth) and women. Water and land protectors participated in making quilt squares for a special project led by Rebecca Nagle of The “Kik Ta! Wake Up” Project.
The Monument Quilt: a public healing space by and for survivors of rape and abuse. The Monument Quilt is an ongoing collection of stories from survivors of rape and abuse. To date, over 1,000 collected quilt squares have been displayed in 22 different cities across the US (read more on CNN and MSNBC). As the quilt continues to grow, survivors, loved ones and supporters are encouraged to make a square. In a culminating display in Washington, DC, 6,000 fabric squares will blanket over one mile of the national mall to spell “Not Alone.”
Special thanks to all the facilitators, Rebecca Nagle, Graci Horne, Deezbaa Andrea Marie, and many others who traveled to Standing Rock to make these events happen. Thank you for your commitment to bringing healing to our communities.
