Arizona launches MMIP database to track missing Indigenous people
A first-of-its-kind Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) database and map has been launched for Arizona. This project, developed by Arizona Luminaria, focuses on tracking cases of missing and murdered Indigenous individuals, particularly women and girls. The database includes nearly 100 cases spanning decades, primarily involving the Navajo Nation. The initiative aims to raise awareness and provide valuable resources to families and communities affected by these crimes.

For everyone who cares about transparency in Native affairs: We exist to illuminate tribal government. Our work bridges the gap left by tribal-controlled media and non-Native, extractive journalism, providing the insights necessary for truly informed decision-making and a better quality of life. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise.
