(Wisconsin Radio Network) Monday was National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, at the Capitol, survivors and family members gathered to focus on the movement to end violence against Indigenous people.

Shannon Holsey is President of Wisconsin’s Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians said the epidemic of missing and murdered women is a direct result of the systematic barriers that have been placed on indigenous communities.

Since 2020, a Wisconsin Department of Justice task force has been working to address the issue of missing or murdered Indigenous women and girls among the state’s Native American population.
