Havasupai Settlement
Ripple had the honor of working alongside the Havasupai Tribe of the Grand Canyon to publicize their settlement deal with the Arizona Board of Regents over the controversial use of their blood for medical testing. Thanks to the incredible reporting by Amy Harmon, you may have seen this story on the FRONT PAGE of the New York Times, as well as in every major newspaper across the country. This was the most emotional project we have ever worked on, and we commend the Havasupai Tribe Members for their righteous fight against the powers that be. For them this was not about money, power or publicity, but about bringing the spirits of their family members back home. The blood samples are back where they belong now, and the Tribe is working on healing and moving on.
