Missing in California Indian Country - Regional Events

Missing in California Indian Country logo

Missing in California Indian Country events are taking place throughout the four regions of our state. They, in part, serve as critical public safety events for tribal communities and aim to elevate the state’s response to the Missing Murdered Indigenous Persons crisis (MMIP). These events will allow for loved ones to report an individual missing, receive an update on an active missing person’s case, and/or provide a DNA sample for inclusion in the DOJ’s Unidentified Persons Database. These regional events will be developed and planned in collaboration with the tribal governments, within the respected regions, to be most responsive to the region's tribal community's needs. Together, local, state, tribal and federal justice partners will come together for these events to share critical information, resource availability, and partnership in addressing the MMIP crisis in California.
