Thank you all who supported this journey! Dante
www.skyeaglecollection.com The 400 Ribbon Skirt Project was created by Osage Artist & Fashion Designer Dante Biss-Grayson. The project is part of the Sky-Eagle Collection. The project is to design 400 ribbon skirts and donate all of these to battered women’s shelters on reservations in the USA and Canada. The idea is to create medicine bundles with 1 or 4 skirts and the hope is that these bundles give good medicine to the recipient. 400 ribbon skirts will be sent to the Four Directions.
In support of Missing Murdered Indigenous Women’s (MMIW) Advocacy groups, the Sky-Eagle Collection has donated to many advocacy groups with the goal to provide action to the MMIW epidemic. The 400 Ribbon Skirt Project will be sent to the Four Directions and will empower, and give hope to those who are in need of support, and hopefully their medicine bundles will get them to the next step in healing.
In consult with the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center (NIWRC), a list of women's shelters on the native reservations in the USA and Canada will be created and these shelters will be contacted about the project. The designer will deliver in person and via post to the shelters who want to participate in this at no cost to them.
The skirts can be used to help the wearer apply to a new job, give hope, and strength onto the road to healing.

The skirts in the image are samples only and the final project will have similar skirts produced. All proceeds to the fundraiser will be used for design, production, shipping, promotion, and taxes.
If the end of 2021, the goal has not been met, we will make as many ribbon skirts as we can with the donations.
Progress pics will be posted of the ribbon skirts and deliveries.
Thank you!
