“Violence against Indigenous peoples is a crisis that has been underfunded for decades…”

– Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland

Take a moment to grasp that Native people are 10 times as likely as all US citizens to go missing or be murdered.  There are currently 23 WY persons missing since Jan. 1, 2022 and 85 missing if we go back to 1974.  Know that these dramatic numbers reflect poor and underreported record keeping.

The WY league, with leadership from the Fremont County league, has declared Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) a top priority.   In June 2022, LWVWY proposed that the national league accept our resolution.  Read the resolution here>>>
