May 5 Is MMIW / MMIP Awareness Day
There is a disproportionate amount of indigenous women going missing or murdered in the United States and Canada. In turn there is also a disproportionate amount of missing and murdered children and men that are Native. This is because of many reasons but sexual violence and trafficking are major causes

Calling out the Names
This event will be a walk through grief with stations set out in Dillingham that give you prompts on how to deal with loss and grief. More info will be posted when available.
This has been led by the Curyung Tribe. The Leaders of the Curyung Tribe saw this as an issue that impacted its members along with others in the region. The Department of Justice partnered with the Curyung tribe through operation Lady Justice to create a response in Dillingham and the region.
