Our work truly began in 2021 with organizing the first MMIR Pow Wow in the Sioux City, Iowa. It wasn't until more and more community members shared their feedback on how important this pow wow was. From hearing the feedback to having long conversations amongst our team, we wanted to end the MMIR crisis altogether. But how?

​

Earlier this year, the team decided to create a Native nonprofit organization that would focus on all the issues that contribute to the crisis. This means that our work will include rematriation practices, creating a just economy, utilizing a healing justice framework, using civic engagement to advocate on all issues, and most importantly - building power within our communities in order to create impactful change.
