On the first day of the Alaska Federation of Natives convention in Fairbanks, Alaska Native artist Amber Webb presented a giant kuspuk bearing the images of dozens of Indigenous women who went missing or were murdered.
Webb says the 12-foot-tall kuspuk is large so it can include the portraits of 250 Native women missing or killed in the U.S and Canada.
