Eureka High Students Walking for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples Awareness Day on May 5th
This is a press release from a Eureka City Schools Student:. On May 5th, MMIP Day (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples Day), a group of Eureka High students and I will walk from the school to the courthouse to pour red sand in the cracks of the sidewalk. Both the red sand—a symbol of Natives falling through the cracks of our society, or being forgotten—and our group at the courthouse, will raise awareness of MMIP Day. My community can begin to recognize how these missing and murdered numbers impact us on a local level. This recognition creates pressure in our government’s public agenda, which is beneficial for change.
