This resolution expresses strong support for designating May 5, 2025, as the "National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls" . It urges the people of the United States and interested groups to commemorate the lives of these victims, both documented and undocumented, and to demonstrate solidarity with their grieving families. This designation aims to bring critical attention to the severe and ongoing crisis affecting Indigenous communities. Furthermore, the resolution recommends that the Department of Justice's National Institute of Justice commission a new study to provide updated statistics on missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, noting that the last comprehensive study was published nine years ago. It acknowledges the positive efforts made to date, including previous legislative actions and task forces, but emphasizes that significant work remains to effectively address this nationwide crisis. The resolution underscores the disproportionately high rates of violence and disappearances faced by Indigenous women and girls.
