Report on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls by Urban Indian Health Institute
The report Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls: A snapshot of data from 71 urban cities in the United States highlights “the maze of injustice that impacts Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) cases and demonstrates how they are made to disappear in life, the media and in data.”. Published by the Urban Indian Health Institute, the report identifies Seattle as having the highest number of MMIWG of the 71 cities surveyed, and Washington state as having the second highest number of MMIWG cases across the country. “The MMIWG epidemic deeply impacts urban American Indian and Alaska Native communities, and the dialogue must shift to include them.”
