In partnership with the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University, the Indigenous Community Center will be hosting a variety of events honoring missing and murdered Indigenous women during the next week.

The events — collectively called “Actions for Justice” — will kick off Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. at Broken Arrow Park with speakers, performers, raffles, and food and art vendors. The week of events coincides with National Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Awareness Day, which is Thursday.

Then, a number of events are on tap next week to continue building community awareness:

• On Monday, a free self-defense seminar is slated for 6 p.m. at Lawrence High School’s main gym, 1901 Louisiana St.

• On Tuesday, the public is invited to participate in a Justice Walk from KU to Lawrence City Hall. The walk starts at 4 p.m. in front of Watson Library.

• A forum and discussion about missing and murdered Indigenous women is scheduled for Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Parker Hall room 110 on Haskell’s campus.

• On Thursday, the public is invited to wear red and attend a pair of events: a fire lighting at sunrise and a walk at 6 p.m., both on Haskell’s campus.

Along with the single-day events, the ICC will also have a table at Wescoe Beach on KU’s campus Monday through Wednesday, where people can learn more about the movement. The ICC is also inviting the public to participate in a social media campaign throughout the week.
