Blackfeet MMIP works directly with supporters that help Native families in Montana conducting community searches in urban and reservation areas by providing direct assistance to individuals leading the search for their missing loved ones.

​

Direct payments will be made to individuals to help provide the resources required to conduct a thorough community search such as:

​

• Gas money, meals, and hotel stays as they search across the state

• Tools, like metal detectors and drones

• Conducting a targeted awareness campaign

The First Days After a Disappearance:

 

When a loved one goes missing, time is critical. Once you have determined a loved one, regardless of their age, is missing, contact local law enforcement as soon as possible to file a report. This is especially important if the person has any health issues, disabilities, impairments, or medication requirements.

 

Again, time is critical;

 

Local law enforcement immediately.
