Montana has launched a sponsored license plate to support efforts addressing missing Indigenous persons, according to NonStop Local.
The Montana Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Advisory Council introduced the plate as a new initiative aimed at raising awareness and generating funding for its work. According to a Montana Department of Justice Facebook post, proceeds from license plate sales will go directly toward supporting the council’s mission to reduce the number of missing Indigenous individuals in the state.
The initiative is intended to provide both financial support and increased public visibility for efforts focused on missing Indigenous persons in Montana. Information about how to obtain the sponsored license plate is available online, according to the department.
