On May 5, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe observed the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIWR), also known as Red Dress Day. Tribal members and community partners came together to recognize missing and affected relatives, support grieving families, and raise awareness through heartfelt events and held a community dinner to stand in solidarity for anyone impacted by the MMIWR crisis.
