Humphrey School

The epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous relatives is rooted in colonial systems. The establishment of the first statewide task force on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women by Minnesota in 2019, coupled with the 2021 Presidential Task Force on Missing and Murdered American Indians and Alaskan Natives, provides opportunity for change. Join us for a day of presentations and panels to learn more from the intrepid leaders that have advocated for change at local, state, and federal levels and to have honest conversations about what needs to be done to ensure that the policy measures taken by state and federal governments result in intentional systemic solutions.
