Event summary

Join us for the inspiring Native Women Running MMIR Healing & Prayer Run from May 3rd to May 5th, 2024, in beautiful Minneapolis, Hennepin. This unique event invites participants to run, walk, bike, hike, or engage in any form of movement at their own pace and place, honoring the memory of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Two-Spirits, and their grieving families.

This year, we are proud to partner with Honwungsi Consulting Services from Phoenix, Arizona, whose dedicated team supports families and survivors impacted by violence and disparities. Together, we aim to raise awareness and provide assistance to those searching for their loved ones. Participants can sign up individually or create teams, and everyone is encouraged to wear red or purchase an MMIR t-shirt to show solidarity. Let's come together as a community to make our miles matter and share our stories using the hashtags #nativewomenrunning #MMIW #MMIWG2S #MMIR #flyhumanfly. Don't miss this opportunity to be a part of a movement that honors our Indigenous relatives while promoting healing and unity!

Organiser's Description

The MMIR (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives) Healing & Prayer Run is a run at your own pace and place. You can run, walk, bike, hike, basically, any movement anywhere. Our mission is to be in solidarity with Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Two-Spirits, Relatives, grieving families, and individuals working on the front lines to end this epidemic of violence against our Indigenous relatives. We will run in prayer and healing as a community as we honor those who have gone missing or murdered.

This year, we are working with Honwungsi Consulting Services in Phoenix, Arizona. Honwungsi provides services to families and survivors experiencing violence, homelessness and other disparities associated with victimization. Honwungsi's primary focus is the Missing Person and Recovery Program. Honwungsi is a small team of individuals who searches for loved ones and/or assists families in coordinating community search efforts, assisting with coordination of law enforcement with families. Financial assistance gives the ability to provide assistance to families who are searching for loved ones. The most payout is lodging, fuel, and food. This expense is also afforded to the search teams for their fuel and lodging. In the last year, they have found missing persons in the Sober Living Crisis and have returned many victims to their families.
