Sept. 13, 2023
A monument honouring Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit individuals (MMIWG2S+) in Saskatchewan was unveiled on Muskowekwan First Nation.
For artist Wannitta Mantee-Henry, the project is more than just a monument.
“My auntie, I do most of my MMIW work to honour her. I am named after her,” she said.
The 17-year-old was one of two artists who designed the monument – the other being Whirlwind Bull. Mantee-Henry believes it offers support for families and acts as a place of education.
