#MMIW

En una conferencia de prensa realizada en el Seattle Indian Health Board, dirigentes tribales, familiares de personas desaparecidas y la senadora estadounidense Maria Cantwell (D-Washington) afirmaron que se necesitan más recursos federales para abordar la crisis de las personas indígenas desaparecidas y asesinadas en el estado de Washington. La conferencia tuvo lugar el 5 de mayo, Día Nacional de Concientización sobre Personas Indígenas Desaparecidas o Asesinadas (MMIP).

Tribal leaders, family members, and Democrat U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell from Washington asked President Biden for more federal resources to address the missing and murdered indigenous women and people crisis in Washington.

Al comenzar el mes nacional de concientización sobre los casos de mujeres y personas indígenas desaparecidas y asesinadas (MMIW/P), las familias siguen llamando la atención sobre las barreras y los retos que experimentan al abordar la crisis en Washington.

As the national awareness month on the crisis starts, families continue calling attention to the barriers and challenges they experience when addressing the missing and murdered indigenous women and people MMIW/P crisis in Washington.

For over 30 years, Native American Heritage Month has been federally recognized. Northwest Public Broadcasting reporters are interviewing Indigenous people throughout the region to learn what they think about the month and what they want people to understand about their culture and who they are. Reporter Lauren Gallup spoke with Rosalie Fish, a University of Washington student and athlete, who is using her platform to raise awareness of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women crisis. As the month ends, the recognition does not and we continue to publish these conversations and stories to inspire more engagement and understanding.
