Melissa Skeet is on "The Great Skate," a four-month-long journey across the U.S. to amplify Indigenous voices and raise awareness for the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) crisis. Elle magazine spoke to her about her mission, the weight of what she's doing, and the message she's spreading. “My ancestors fought really hard so that I could be here today,” she says. “I’m telling my story, but also their story.”
Reservation Dogs star and Canadian actor D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai brought Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) into the spotlight with him at last night’s Emmy Awards Ceremony.
