Hundreds march to ‘shatter the silence’ of missing, murdered Indigenous people
- Hundreds marched in Scottsdale, Arizona, recently to raise awareness of missing and murdered Indigenous people across North America.
- The demonstration follows longstanding concerns about violence against Native Americans, including that over 84% have experienced violence in their lifetimes.
- Advocates including Deb Haaland, Castro, and Begay-Kroupa stress the importance of safeguarding family members and point out that Native American women face a homicide risk that exceeds the national average by more than double.
- This year, about 4,300 FBI cases for missing Indigenous people remain open, and officials announced additional FBI resources in April to aid investigations and prosecutions.
- Participants demand sustained responses and better law enforcement cooperation to find missing persons, solve homicides, and fully implement Indigenous Alerts requiring more resources.
