Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear scars.

“She wore her scars as her best attire. A stunning dress made of hellfire.” Daniel Saint.
Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) activist Nicole Wagon is a hero. Two of her daughters, Jocelyn and Jade, were murdered. Nicole is raising Jade’s two children. Nicole doesn’t wear a cape, but she wears scars.
You must reflect. If you had two children murdered, would you still have the gumption and the strength to fight for others in the same situation? Or would you just want to retreat into your sorrow and not care about anyone else? It took years for Jocelyn’s murderer to be convicted. Jades case is considered closed despite no one being charged.  
Even with the media coverage of MMIP, it is still at epidemic levels.  Why? Is it because the value of a human life has been disvalued so much we just don’t care? Are we distracted by our own lives and think there is nothing that can be done? Is it just a cultural thing? Are drugs to blame? Maybe it is a combination of them all?
 On May 5 many of us will be marching in Riverton for MMIP awareness. The march starts at 11 a.m. on Riverton’s main street. It is followed by a rally in city park. Please consider participating. If you don’t want to march, you may just come to the rally. You will hear stories from MMIP families. They are very moving and enlightening.  Each of the families wear the scars they wish they didn’t have.
