Blackfeet MMIP
Missing Murdered Indigenous People
Resources
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;
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

Human Trafficking:
This report provides a close look into the internal thought processes and personal histories of men arrested for attempting to purchase sex. The
interviews reflect a wide
spectrum of perspectives and reveal contradictions, defenses, and moments of
uncertainty. While some minimized their behavior or focused on external factors, others showed glimpses of introspection, confusion, or discomfort. These responses do not
form a single narrative but instead highlight the diverse and often conflicted ways men
interpreted their actions and experiences.
