The Red Sky Nation Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Powwow "is entirely dedicated to raising awareness of this epidemic while creating community for all who have been touched by this crisis in any shape or form." (redskynation.org) In 2023 and 2024, we were honored to serve as fiscal sponsor for the Red Sky Nation and co-organize the annual powwow located in Sioux City through the wonderful work of Trisha Rivers.
In 2025 they became their own non-profit! Great Plains Action Society is still is a donor to the powwow and we encourage other organizations and businesses across the nation to also become a sponsor to ensure the long-term success of this this powerful, changemaking and healing event!

What we Do - This Page is Outdated! We are Working on it!
Our Protect the Sacred Initiative is unique in Iowa and Nebraska. We move beyond reactive solutions and work hard to educate, empower, heal, and activate folks to make lasting change. We do this through a variety of methods such as healing workshops, direct actions, self-defense classes, mutual aid giveaways speaking engagements, writing articles, producing mini-documentaries, cultural programming, political engagement events, supporting MMIR families through our Legacy Fund to increase cultural and historical awareness about colonial violence to Indigenous Peoples.
