The Way of the Sacred Mountain - Walking in Beauty Indigenous Resilience MMIW/R Benefit Art Show March 04, 2023 - Balboa Park Kumeyaay Land "WAY OF THE SACRED MOUNTAIN is an Indigenous-Led, Grassroots, Partnership. Our vision is centered in acknowledging the truth of what happened and is still happening to our People; Women, Water, and Earth Mother and anything disconnecting us from our authentic ways of being. Our Grassroots organizing is propelled by our love for our people, to nurture community engagement, cultural revitalization, reclamation of lifeways, restore connection to the land, and heal unresolved intergenerational trauma that often manifests in the Crisis of our Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. We need to see MMIW/R to its end. Our mission is to stop ongoing Indigenous Genocide that is taking expression as Indigenous Relatives going Missing and found Murdered. In this way we defend ourselves while holding accountable exploitative people, agencies, and industries by exposing the damage done and calling for restorative justice while we “Walk in Beauty” as vibrant dignified resilience." https://wayofthesacredmountain.org/ Tribal Nations News is an independent News reporting platform specifically focused on the Tribal Nations and people of The Southern California Region. #wayofthesacredmountain #kumeyaay #sandiego #MMIW #MMIP
