On October 8th 2023, Connie presented on Missing and Murdered Indigenous women. This page showcases some information about the movement.

The movement to raise awareness of the disproportionate rate of missing and murdered Indigenous Women started in 2015 (source). Cases of missing and murdered Indigenous persons have occurred across the US, in Canada, and even in Missouri.

There are multiple US focused organizations that work to advocate for victims and provide information and resources to victims, victim’s families, and general public, this page highlights 2. One is MMIWUSA, an organization solely dedicated to advocating and providing resources to victims and families. The other is Native Womans Wilderness, an organization focused on empowering Native Women to encorperate the Wilderness into their life , as well as providing resources and information on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.

Connie recommended the movie Wind River. While the plot is fictional, the horror and pain in the families and communities impacted is very much real.
