“We do not want to endorse violence of any kind, but we couldn’t help but talk about one of the hottest hot topics this year,” she said as the child posed awkwardly in front of the hosts. “So, we have our interpretation. We have an Oscars statue, we call this ‘The Oscars Slap,’ and he has red face paint on the statue.

In 2014, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police claimed over 1,200 Indigenous women were reported missing or murdered in Canada between 1980 and 2012. The Assembly of First Nations claimed 16 per cent of all homicide victims in Canada are Indigenous women.

@TheView Difficult to keep up with everything but the red handprint on one’s face is the symbol for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Too bad no one was able to flag this costume idea in advance. #MMIWG #TheView — Hillary 🇺🇦 (@disco_hits) October 31, 2022 Story continues below advertisement Both @ABCNetwork and the show runners for @TheView need to apologize for their utterly stupid and absurdly insensitive #OscarsSlap #costume stunt, a #redhandprint on one’s face is the symbol for #missing and #murdered #Indigenous #women and #girls .
