St. Lawrence University's Native American Affairs and the Richard F. Brush Gallery Presents: One Earring

One Earring, an exhibition designed to raise awareness about Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP). Representing those who were stolen or never returned home, the One Earring project was inspired by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs Office of Justice Services exhibition of the same title in 2022.

The One Earring will open on Sunday, June 2 at the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery, SLU. This is an in-person, free, and open to the public event.

According to the U.S. Administration for Children & Families, American Indian and Alaska Native women face the highest rates of domestic violence and sexual violence in the country. In response, communities have designated the month of May to raise awareness of the "thousands of Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit individuals, and people who have gone missing or have been murdered in the United States." People participate in marches, protests, fundraisers, and other activities, and many wear red in recognition of the day.

St. Lawrence's Brush Art Gallery is located in the Griffiths Arts Center. For more information, contact the Gallery at 315-229-5174 or visit stlawu.edu/offices/art-gallery.
