The Native American Law Students and American Constitution Society is hosting an event for Missing & Murdered Indigenous Relatives. All are invited, including and especially allies to the Indigenous community.
While violence against women affects many communities across the country and around the world, Indigenous communities in the U.S. and Canada are particularly impacted by this crisis. Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives (MMIR) is a movement that advocates for the end of violence against Native people, and draws awareness to high rates of disappearances and murders, particularly of Native women and girls.
Our three speakers are Darlene Gomez (Law Offices of Darlene Gomez), Hali K. McKelvie (Advocacy Resource Center, Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians), and Bree Black Horse (Assistant U.S. Attorney).
