May 5th is a day many wear red to raise awareness for Murdered & Missing Indigneous Women, Girls, 2 Spirit and others
The Center
for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that murder is the
third-leading cause of death among American Indian and Alaska
Native women.
Native American women are 7x more likely to go missing or murdered than any other ethnicity
The National Crime Information Center reports that, in 2016, there
were 5,712 reports of missing American Indian and Alaska Native
women and girls, though the US Department of Justice’s federal
missing persons database only logged 116 cases
More information about this alarming epidemic can be found here via Native Hope https://www.nativehope.org/missing-and-murdered-indigenous-women-mmiw
Additonal resources can be found through Rising Hearts https://www.risinghearts.org/nomorestolenrelatives
Educate yourself and others and find ways to combat these numbers.

Today at the #PhoenixIndianCenter the Native youth group held the annual one mile walk in remembrance and awareness of #MurderMissingIndigeniousPeople.
These young people are inspirational and fierce. They’ll get done what we older generation can’t, that’s for sure.

#Yurok Tribe Hires Investigator to Pursue New, Existing Missing and Murdered #Indigenous People (#MMIP) Cases
Quote: “Throughout the State of California, very few resources are allocated to cases involving missing and murdered Indigenous people. I [the investigator] was very excited when I saw the opportunity to be the person who is solely focused on finding missing Indigenous people."
