From the website: "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.
Data for Indigenous Justice was formed to bridge the gaps in absent data, to conduct research reflective of accurate data representation in Alaska, to work directly with our communities in decolonizing the data. Being able to do this work ourselves is having sovereignty over the way that this data is used. Partnerships are essential while also holding local, state and federal law enforcement agencies accountable in gathering the needed data for accurate Alaska Native and American Indian case representation to protect and care for our people."
