The Community Conversations Ecumenical Consortium presents the Status of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives in Minnesota. Although American Indian women and girls make up just one percent of the state’s population, from 2010 through 2018, eight percent of all murdered women and girls in Minnesota were American Indian. From 27 to 54 American Indian women and girls in Minnesota were missing in any given month from 2012 to 2020. To bring attention to this tragic issue, Minnesota has created the office of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives (MMIR) in an effort to reduce and end violence against all indigenous people in Minnesota. 
Join us as Ana Negrete, Interim Director of this office discusses the scope of this community problem, and the efforts to find and raise community awareness about these issues.
