Dozens gathered at Cross Creek Friday afternoon to attend the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians (GTB) 3rd annual Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) Day of Awareness.
May 5 is national day of awareness for MMIP and serves as an opportunity to not only educate others, but to honor the lives that have been lost and to address the violence against indigenous communities.
GTB’s MMIP event featured a water ceremony, drumming and dancing, guest speakers, and the hanging of red garments in remembrance of those missing or murdered.
