Stand with Us

A deep-seated anger and profound grief permeates First Nations communities as families grapple with the agonizing reality of missing and murdered Indigenous women. It is a grief born of loss, of unanswered questions, and of a persistent, heartbreaking reality: the disproportionate number of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWG2S+). The absence of these vital members from families and communities is a wound that festers, a constant reminder of systemic failures and historical injustices.

Obsidian Skull Press passionately supports the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) cause; we believe in amplifying the voices of marginalized communities and advocating for justice. The devastating impact of violence against Indigenous women and girls is a stark reality that demands our attention and action.

Using our platform to raise awareness, share stories, and promote education, Obsidian Skull Press aims to shed light on the systemic issues that contribute to this crisis. We recognize the need for solidarity and the importance of honoring the lives and stories of those who have been lost, working towards healing and empowerment for Indigenous communities.

At Obsidian Skull Press, we stand in solidarity with Native Hope and the communities they serve. We encourage you to learn more about their work and consider supporting their mission.

Join us in our efforts to abolish the perpetual victimizing of our Native sisters, to inspire change and foster a society that values every life and stands firmly against violence and injustice. Together, we can help create a more just and equitable future for all.

The red hand symbolizes the connection between the physical world and the spiritual world. Native Americans believe that the dead can see red, so by wearing red we invoke the help of our ancestors and spiritual guides.

Empowering Voices Through Fiction and Art

Through the transformative power of fiction and art, we empower voices that often go unheard, creating a platform for meaningful dialogues about pressing social issues. By showcasing diverse narratives and perspectives, we invite audiences to engage with themes of equity, inclusion, and justice. Our commitment to advocating for diversity in the arts not only enriches the creative landscape but also fosters a sense of belonging and representation for marginalized communities. By encouraging collaboration among artists from various backgrounds, we open pathways for discussion, inspiring change and understanding. In this vibrant space of creativity, every story matters, and every voice adds to the tapestry of our shared human experience. Together, we can challenge perceptions, celebrate differences, and pave the way for a more inclusive future.
