“This is the first march of many, (...) and instead of marching around murdered and missing indigenous women, we’ll be marching around who we are as beautiful and resilient women.” -Patina Park of @MIWRC_MN ow.ly/PAt150ucIaj

“Whatever we can do to start doing to raising that awareness and start addressing that with solutions, is exciting.” kstp.com/news/first-ind…

"I commit myself, as the director here, that this is the first march of many," said Patina Park, executive director of the Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center, to a crowd Saturday morning who gathered for the first-ever Indigenous Women’s March. ow.ly/dBja50ubTLC

"'In a given community, I have to count on two hands the number of people whose family members have been missing or murdered,' Park says. 'I don’t know anyone personally who hasn’t experienced violence against themselves or a family member.'" citypages.com/news/after-yea…
