Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women #MMIW – Specific Women and Girls

June 4, 2019 0 Resource Guides

The Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women #MMIW – Specific Women and Girls page includes resources on MMIWG throughout the US and Canada. When a name or article is labeled as “NEW”, it doesn’t necessarily mean the case is new or the article has been published recently; it only means the information is new to this guide. I have added geographical location of each woman. I am also adding nation/band/tribal/community affiliation if I can find it. My intention is to be relatively sure of these affiliations before I add them but if I have something wrong, please send me the information so that I can make the correction.

This list is added to regularly. Contact me with suggestions.

Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women #MMIW Resource Guide

May 5, 2018 7 Resource Guides

In this guide, you'll find resources in support of #MMIW.

Currently there are no accurate records to confirm the number of indigenous women who have gone missing in the US and Canada but according to the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women, four out of five Native women are affected by violence today. The cases of missing and murdered indigenous women number in the thousands.

This guide is intended to bring awareness to the cause of #MMIW; I hope to amplify voices of the brave women and others working to find, protect, and support indigenous women and girls.

Click on the titles below to navigate through the various pages of resources. These pages will be regularly updated; please let me know what other resources I should add by leaving a comment.

Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women #MMIW – Books

May 5, 2018 0 Books Resource Guides

This bibliography goes beyond #MMIW and lists books regarding violence against Indigenous women more generally, as well as Indigenous history, tradition, feminism, and more. These resources focus on women and GNC people in areas now known as the United States, Canada, and Hawaii. It’s possible that I will move the other topics off of this bibliography at some point onto their own and limit this one strictly to MMIW. I welcome your suggestions.

This post includes affiliate links. For each book that is purchased on this list from an affiliate link of mine, I will donate $1 to the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women.
