Please be safe and follow CDC guidance during the coronavirus outbreak. As our country works through this difficult time, please join me in reaching out to those in need or who are feeling isolated - we are all in this together.

Right now, Montana is staying true to its commitment to our tribal communities by working with their governments to build a statewide database of missing indigenous persons.

In fact, the database is almost done.

A statewide database is critical in finding missing indigenous persons and stopping the loss of information and life that tribal communities face when one of their own goes missing. The database can help. Thanks to state Rep. Rae Peppers for her tireless work to get the database started.

Because even though indigenous people make up 6.7% of Montana’s population, they account for 26% of our missing person’s cases.

That’s why I’m proud to throw my support behind this effort to help end the cycle of missing and murdered indigenous people. But I want you to join me. Will you add your name to support efforts to advance safety and justice for Montana’s tribal communities?

Thank you for your continued support,

Kathleen Williams
