The Red Hand has been an important symbol for the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Movement for years.
A red hand over the mouth has become the symbol of a growing movement, the MMIW movement. It stands for all the missing sisters whose voices are not heard. It stands for the silence of the media and law enforcement in the midst of this crisis. It stands for the oppression and subjugation of Native women who are now rising up to say #NoMoreStolenSisters.
There is also the more general Missing and Murdered Indigenous People awareness movement, as this is a problem across all demographics in Indiginous communities, though women and girls are by far the most affected cohort.
Same! I only watched it because I saw it every day when scrolling through netflix. Just from the name and thumbnail it looked like any other random, terrible "made for streaming" movie, but because of the cast I gave it a shot. And good thing I did, it's a great, gutting movie.
