May 5 marked the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

Native women face murder rates more than 10 times the national average. Here in Montana, Indigenous women are four times more likely to go missing.

MTN is sharing some of the stories from the MMIW crisis; some of which you might know, some of which you won’t.

The University of Montana hosted an indigenous-led Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP) program, “A Place of Good Medicine and Healing,” on Monday to honor lives lost and foster healing through art and community.

The art exhibits reflected Indigenous joy and resilience, as well as allyship and healing, while connecting attendees with trauma-informed support and educational resources.

“This event is important for me in particular because we need a place to have this conversation,” said Salish Elder Myrna Dumontier.
