This 77-foot mural, called "Take Back the Power," was painted by Deal's father Gregg to bring awareness to the plight of missing and murdered Indigenous women across the US. The red handprint over the mouth is a national symbol that these victims are being silenced and that those who keep their victimization quiet have blood on their hands. (Courtesy of Raven Payment)
