The MMIWG2S Alaska Working Group is an Indigenous-led initiative to address this crisis in our state. Our team brings organizations together to support advocacy, educational outreach, and justice on this front.

Meet our Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, and Two-Sprits Working Group Partners.

WORKING GROUP PARTNERS

  • The Alaska Native Women’s Resource Center (AKNWRC) is dedicated to strengthening local, tribal government’s responses through community organizing efforts advocating for the safety of women and children in their communities and homes, especially against domestic and sexual abuse and violence.

    Through the voices, languages, and teachings of tribes, survivors and advocates, and in partnership with our allies and other stakeholders, the AKNWRC provides a voice at the local, statewide, national and international levels for life-saving changes needed in laws, policies, and social norms.

    The Alaska Native Women’s Resource Center envisions our Tribal women, communities and families free from violence, healing the trauma and utilizing the wisdom of our ancestors to create effective community/Tribal responses to domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, trafficking, sexual assault, and related injustices.

  • The Alaska Native Justice Center (ANJC) promotes justice through culturally based advocacy, prevention, and intervention services to restore dignity, respect, and humanity to all Alaska Native people.

  • The Alaska Native Heritage Center (ANHC) is a living cultural center located in Anchorage, Alaska that promotes active observance of Alaska Native culture and traditions. As the only statewide cultural and education center dedicated to celebrating all cultures and heritages, ANHC serves as a statewide resource for Alaska Natives from birth until Elder, and we support and celebrate Alaska Natives from all of Alaska’s Native cultures, including Iñupiaq, St. Lawrence Island Yupik, Athabascan, Eyak, Haida, Tsimshian, Tlingit, Unangax̂, Alutiiq/Sugpiaq, Yup’ik, and Cup’ik.

    Through permanent collections, life-sized village sites, and immersive educational programs, ANHC creates immersive experiences that promote an understanding of our rich and diverse Cultures.

  • We are an Alaska Native and womxn-led non-profit stewarding a database for missing and murdered Indigenous womxn, girls and relatives in Alaska.

    The Alaska MMIWG2S data gaps are prevalent and unacceptable. Accurate data and reporting are an essential part to bringing justice for our community. Together we are reclaiming and housing the MMIWG2S data to protect and care for our community.

    If you are a loved one of a missing or murdered relative and are seeking justice, submit the name of your loved one to the MMIWG2S database. Know that this data and information gathered is housed with care, love and respect.

  • We are dedicated to building people power, rooted in an Indigenized worldview, toward healthy, sustainable, & just communities for ALL.

    Native Movement supports grassroots-led projects that align with our vision to dismantle oppressive systems for all, and that endeavor to ensure social justice, Indigenous Peoples’ rights, and the rights of Mother Earth.
