Indigenous people honor and raise awareness for relatives who are missing or have been killed
Advocates say federal data gaps and slow reforms leave families to press for action as more than 1,500 missing Native American cases remain open.
- On Sunday, Indigenous families marched in Colorado Springs, Colorado, chanting "No more stolen lives on stolen land" while displaying photos of relatives killed or missing to highlight the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples movement.
- Activists say the burden of seeking justice often falls to families, as the FBI's National Crime Information Center recorded just under 1,500 active federal cases involving missing Native Americans at the end of 2025.
- Denise Porambo, whose daughter Destiny Jeriann Whiteman was killed, joined the march; Grace Bulltail said of her niece Kaysera Stops Pretty Places, "We have had to advocate for ourselves and for Kaysera every step of the way."
- The Department of Justice's Operation Not Forgotten has surged FBI agents to tribal lands, but Michael Henderson, director of public safety for the Navajo Nation, warned that "more manpower from the FBI on reservations" is not an ideal solution.
