The MMIW Vest
When the body of John's cousin Karina Wolfe was discovered in 2015, five years after her disappearance and brutal murder, John wanted to ensure that her story, and the stories of all other Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls would never be forgotten. With the blessing of Karina's mother, John created the MMIW vest. A beaded hide vest bearing his cousin's initials, John wears this vest at every exhibition, event and performance, ensuring that they are remembered and loved.
