The Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Task Force was created in 2019 to examine the root causes, systemic problems, and potential solutions to violence against indigenous women and girls in Minnesota, including members of the two spirit community. Established by the Minnesota Legislature in 2019, the task force includes representatives from 11 tribal nations, community and advocacy organizations, legislators, law enforcement, and the legal field.

The Indigenous women who led Minnesota’s Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) Task Force and who run the newly created MMIW Office in the Department of Public Safety will discuss what they’ve learned through the Task Force’s work.

Panelists Nicole MartinRogers (Wilder Research), Minnesota State Senator Mary Kunesh, Juliet Rudie, and Stephanie Autumn will speak on how indigenous women are affected by community safety, procedural justice, and “beyond bars.”

The MNJRC's annual Re-Imagining Justice conference brings together a broad set of stakeholders to share, learn, and generate ideas on how to transform Minnesota’s criminal legal system through research, education, and policy. Criminal legal system practitioners, experts, scholars, advocates, and people directly impacted by the system gather for powerful conversations, workshops, and to hear leaders discuss how to re-imagine a justice system that functions more effectively, humanely, and with the public’s trust.
