Bill Summary
This measure would designate the month of May 2025 as California’s Missing and Murdered Indigenous People Awareness Month.
AI Summary
This resolution seeks to designate May 2025 as California's Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) Awareness Month, acknowledging the significant challenges faced by Native American communities regarding violence and disappearances. The resolution highlights alarming statistics from federal agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the FBI, which reveal that homicide is the fifth leading cause of death for Native Americans, with 10,650 reported missing persons incidents in 2023, of which 5,801 were females and 7,124 were juveniles. The document emphasizes that approximately 58 percent of American Indian and Alaska Native women have experienced domestic violence, and current data on missing and murdered indigenous people remains incomplete. The resolution also recognizes California's unique position as the state with the largest Native American population and recent legislative efforts like the Feather Alert and Assembly Bill 44, which aim to improve information sharing and support for indigenous communities. By designating an awareness month, the resolution seeks to draw attention to this critical issue, honor victims, and promote understanding of the challenges faced by indigenous populations in addressing violence and disappearances.
