Photo| ‘Reservation Dogs’ Actor D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai Honours Missing Indigenous Women At Emmys 2024

‘Reservation Dogs’ star D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai’s look for Emmys 2024 is enough to catch the attention of the audience as he arrived for the 76th edition of the prestigious ceremony with a bold red handprint across his face.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, Tai painted a red handprint over his mouth to stand in solidarity with missing and murdered Indigenous women.

According to the organization Native Hope, it’s a symbol of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) movement and stands for “all the missing sisters whose voices are not heard” and “the silence of the media and law enforcement in the midst of this crisis.”
