Social media was being used, artwork, and organizing raised awareness. According to wearenative.org the biggest way we can help is by educating ourselves. We each have more to learn about the MMIW movement. For example, did you know that some people chose not to use MMIW, because they believe it is not inclusive enough?
Some people use other terms, such as:
MMIWG = Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls
MMIR = Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives
MMIP = Missing and Murdered Indigenous People

The NIWRC is now tracking legislative actions by state and federal governments to address the crisis of MMIW.  Although this movement raised more awareness and sparked more organizing for this issue, ingenious women and chicken still are going missing, and ingenious people are less likely to be heard.

MMIW found itself as a movement first in Canada where the grassroots efforts to raise awareness found footing around 2015. Since this time, MMIW has grown and is gaining momentum.

Indigenous women are the group of people affected by this issue . There is widespread anger and sadness in First Nations communities. Sisters, wives, mothers, and daughters are gone from their families without clear answers. There are families whose loved ones are missing—babies growing up without mothers, mothers without daughters, and grandmothers without granddaughters. For Native Americans, this adds one more layer of trauma upon existing wounds that cannot heal. Communities are pleading for justice.
