Hundreds of people marched in Minneapolis on Friday to honor missing and murdered Indigenous relatives.
Although American Indian women and girls make up just one percent of the state’s population, from 2010 through 2018, eight percent of all murdered women and girls in Minnesota were American Indian, according to the Minnesota Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Office.
Between 27 and 54 American Indian women and girls in Minnesota were missing in any given month from 2012 to 2020.
