Missed and murdered indigenous people of the awareness of the sensitization emphasize underrised cases

Petoskey, me. (WPBN/WGTU) – Monday, March 5, marks the day of the sensitization day for indigenous people, a day that has dedicated itself to the honor of victims of violence in tribal communities, especially women and girls.

In the USA 31 in Petoskey there was an informal meeting in which the participants had emphasized the persistent problem of the unresolved and often unsolved cases of missing and murdered indigenous population.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services recognized the severity of the problem and emphasized the lack of attention compared to others compared to others.

Nadine Cook, a resident of the Indian River, shared her personal connection to the matter.

“It is so heartbreaking, because if other nationalities are missing or died, there are this huge investigation and national news reporting, and that doesn't happen for our Indian community,” she said.

Cook's cousin was killed by a car in South Dakota, and the case remains unresolved.

In addition to the meeting in Petoskey, other events take place throughout Michigan to raise awareness.

This includes the march for missing and murdered indigenous people in Grand Rapids, a Saginaw strain that gathers in Mount Pleasant, and soo tribe events in Saint Ignace and Manistique.
