Just a reminder for people cause I haven't seen many peope posting about it:
If you can, please braid your hair today (4/8/24) in honor of Cole Brings Plenty. Cole was a Lakota actor who was assaulted and had his hair cut. Shortly after, he went missing and was later found dead. It's likely that he was murdered, though details haven't been released yet. Rising Hearts has asked that everyone, indigenous or not, wear braids to honor him and remember those that have suffered the same.
If you can't braid your hair, then share posts of others!
Now is also a good time to share some support to indigenous charities, if you're able

Edited on 4/9/24 for clarification, if you want more information see this post

reminder to (if you can!) braid your hair today; the Rising Hearts organisation have asked for everybody who can braid their hair to do so today for Cole Brings Plenty. a young native American man who was found murdered with his hair cut in a hate crime. on their Instagram, Rising Hearts stated:
On Monday, April 8th, wear your braids. Show your braids. Indigenous or not, wear a braid, wear 2 braids, wear many. We wear braids as a community for Cole Brings Plenty and his family. For all indigenous peoples with braids. For the many, past and present, whose braids were cut and attacked. If you don't have hair to braid, share others posts or this post on Monday. Tag @rising_hearts #BraidsForCole
Our hair is sacred. Braids are sacred. Connects us to our ancestors, to community, to ceremony.
Cole Brings Plenty, 27, Lakota, actor (Yellowstone spinoff 1923, and more), family member, and student, was taken from Unči Maka 🌍 too soon. An indigenous relative was taken.
Join Rising Hearts on Monday as we honor Cole's life by braiding our hair in his memory, for all the sacred hair and braids in our communities. Lay some tobacco down. Send up your prayers.
We send our love and support to the Brings Plenty family and his communities. This is a tragic and heartbreaking loss. Justice for Cole. 🤎🪶
