A Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and People event is scheduled for May 5 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Sidney J. Lee Auditorium in Schafer Hall at Bismarck State College, according to event materials.

The agenda includes a meet and greet with a continental breakfast, a welcome by Mona “Susan” Power, a screening of the “Mni Giizhik” film, lunch and action breakouts, according to the schedule. Organizers said the event will include breakout sessions focused on solutions led by community, tribal, state and federal voices.

We provide the independent reporting that non-Native, extractive outlets often overlook. We give our communities the context and the facts they need to make informed decisions.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government decision-making for everyone who cares about transparency about Native issues. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise. Every gift helps keep the fire burning. A monthly contribution makes the biggest impact.
