Red Sky Nation will hold its fourth annual Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives powwow July 11-13 in Sioux City, Iowa, according to an interview aired by KCAU. Event organizers Trisha Rivers and Hayden Parker said the gathering will raise awareness about the MMIR crisis and provide a cultural safe space for families in the Siouxland area.
