ABOUT THE MMIP TRAINING

Across the state, generations of California Natives, Indigenous individuals, and Tribes mourn missing and murdered parents, siblings, children and grandchildren. This is a historical, social, and civil rights tragedy, and speaks to an abiding cultural wounding that deserves national attention.

The MMIP Law Enforcement Training Conference is a localized response, calling for systemic relational improvement between legal systems, law enforcement, and California Native Tribes, both landed and urban, recognized and unrecognized.

WHAT TO EXPECT

-Development of effective MMIP response protocols between multiple agencies
-Education on the intersections of MMIP cases with other crimes (e.g., domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking)
-Resources for mediation, reconciliation, and healing services for families and survivors, as offered in accordance with tribal and urban Native-Indigenous values, beliefs, and practices
-Best practices for trust-building with Native tribes, groups, and families, as well as techniques to recognize, identify, and assist high-risk individuals living on tribal lands and in urban settings

ABOUT SICG

SICG is a Native-led group of volunteers that support Native/Indigenous communities in their cultural protection, preservation, and social justice efforts. Under the leadership of Mayor Mary Ann Carbone (Chumash), we also bring together local tribal and supporting community organizations to strengthen our alliances and partnerships, and to collaborate on issues of urgent concern.

In 2023 SICG launched a strong local MMIP response in the form of the annual Red Dress Day: Raising Awareness of Murdered and Missing Indigenous People. This event brings in 200+ participants and attendees, with a broad array of sponsorships, media and televised coverage throughout Monterey County.
