Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Awareness Day
May 5, 2022
- May 5th is National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls. The victimization of our Native communities is disproportionate to the population.
- In 2017 Senate resolution declared this day in response to the demands for justice following the murder of Hanna Harris at the Northern Cheyenne Reservation in 2013.
- A list of missing Native persons is posted bi-monthly on our website at https://wsp.wa.gov/crime/alerts-missing-persons/missing-indigenous-persons/
- You can show awareness by wearing red on May 5th and posting #MMIWG on your social platforms, there are virtual and in person running and walking events, and plenty of virtual opportunities for education and awareness on this day.
