Homicide is the third leading cause of death of Indigenous people ages 10-24, and fourth leading cause of death among Indigenous people ages 25-34, according to the Tolowa Dee-ni Nation. At the May 3 MMIP event, attendees wore red attire and red facial paint while crafting personalized signs and participating in a one mile walk to raise awareness for MMIP.
