Yet another reason why we need your support.

May 5th is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Woman. Earlier this week several of our staff members attended the Sierra Native Alliance memorial quilt unveiling.

In 2017, the Montana Congressional Delegation led the way for the passage of a Senate resolution declaring May 5th the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls (MMIWG) in response to the demands for justice following the murder of Hanna Harris at the Northern Cheyenne Reservation in 2013. Due to the inadequate response of the justice system, her family and friends conducted the search for Hanna. The community also led marches for justice for Hanna and other unresolved murders of Native women. Since 2017, the national movement to end violence against Native women has organized activities supporting May 5th as the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls.

Native women continue to disappear, and many have been murdered. The issues surrounding missing and murdered Native women must continue to be elevated beyond public awareness for action and increased accountability of the justice systems. Turning our grief to action the NIWRC strongly supports and calls upon Congress to address:
-the need for additional tribal victim services and tribal justice resources affirmed in several federal reports, including those identified in the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights Broken Promises Report, and
the inadequate responses of the federal and state criminal justice systems that fail Native women.

A National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls will:
-honor the lives of our Native sisters,
continue to shed light on the countless tragedies involving our Native sisters,
-highlight the need for ongoing grassroots advocacy and organizing for change of laws, policies, protocols, and allocation of increased resources at the tribal, federal, and state levels to end these injustices, and
create the sharing of information needed to understand the legal reforms and changes required.

What an amazing evening! The energy created at the SMUD Museum of Science and Curiosity for the NAWBO - Sacramento Valley OWL Awards was incredible! To be recognized for the work I’ve done in a room with such amazing women was a highlight of my professional career. I am still reveling in the energy we created together and hoping to use it to make everyone proud in the year to come.
