So'oh Shinálí Sister Project

Our Native and Indigenous communities are deeply impacted by the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) epidemic. This crisis refers to the disproportionate rates of violence and abuse that Indigenous people experience in the United States. As a facet of the 2026 MMIP Advocacy project, So’oh Shinálí Sister project developed critical resources to increase knowledge about systems that support families affected by the crisis. We invite you to take a look through the various resources below including a digital zine, victim services and aftercare postcard, and a full page handout providing guidance on first steps after a disappearance. Moreover, you will find information about past projects developed to uplift awareness including a cultural arts series and video campaign. We urge you to review and become acquainted with the information. Please share widely with your community to amplify awareness and advocacy today!

So’oh Shinálí Sister Project collaborated with Indigenous, multidisciplinary artist, Mer Young (Chichimeca and Apache) to develop a collection of art pieces featuring critical data points. Access a digital gallery of the artwork below.

The Creative Recovery LA Visible Relatives project featured three gatherings developed to raise awareness, provide support, and identify resources for community members impacted by the ongoing Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples (MMIP) crisis. Read the report below to learn more about the project details, impact and resources!

The Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two Spirit (MMIWG2-S) Awareness Campaign included the production and distribution of five videos designed to raise awareness about the ongoing crisis. The five videos identified resources for American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) community members. Videos also highlighted several negative health impacts as speakers noted how violence against AI/AN community members is a serious public health issue. The MMIWG2-S Awareness Campaign was authored by the LACDMH AI/AN UsCC Subcommittee and brought to community by So'oh-Shinálí Sister Project (SSSP).
