This one is particulary good.    When did you learn to play the guitar?

In this episode, you will hear from Hilary Edwards, a member of the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community and descendant of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation.
 
After a social justice trip to Nepal focusing on ethical tourism and the prevention of human trafficking, Hilary learned of the then-grassroots movement of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
 
She dedicated a majority of her research work in law school to this very issue. Her lifelong goals are to continue bringing awareness to MMIWG and to provide a voice for our Indigenous relatives that are no longer with us and are still missing.
 
This podcast uses the term Indigenous to refer to Native Americans, American Indians, and Alaska Native people in the United States and Canada. Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls is often referred to as MMIWG. However, we acknowledge that this is an issue affecting all Indigenous people, including our 2 spirited relatives.

She has an MS in Art Education from Mass College of Art, and was the Art Specialist in Fairfax County, VA and Oak Harbor, WA for many years. 

The conversation is facilitated by Ellie Cross, MoNA's Community Outreach Coordinator.
