Our Mission

Standing Star was created and grounded in response to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) crisis.

Standing Star was created and grounded in response to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) crisis. Native American women face shockingly high rape, physical violence, stalking, and homicide statistics. The MMIW crisis is complex, with many root causes and no single solution. However, the self-defense skills learned through Standing Star will be a step in a positive direction as EVERY women should know how to defend herself, especially Native American women at this time.

And why are we focused on the Seattle area?

71% of Native Americans live in U.S. urban areas and the top city with highest number of urban MMIW cases is Seattle, WA according to the Urban Indian Health Institute (2018).
