Last year, President Joe Biden declared May 5th, 2021 as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Awareness Day. Events were held across Indian Country to raise awareness of the day and the issue. This year, Indian Country is keeping the fire burning by hosting more events across Indian Country, all this week. 

Some are about murdered and missing Indigenous women, others about Indigenous women and girls; some are about Indigenous children, and others are about Indigenous people or relatives. They all have hashtags, and they all have the same tragic thing in common: Too many of our people are missing or murdered.

Here are some of the events happening to remember, and raise awareness, this week. Check back, as we'll update this page often.
