Join Us in May!

At the National Institute for Law and Justice (NILJ), we help families whose loved ones have gone missing. While our doors to all, we’ve been inundated with case requests involving Indigenous relatives from all over the United States. And here’s why: According to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, more than 4,200 missing and murdered cases involving Indigenous women, men, children, and two-spirits have gone unsolved.

Can you imagine having no place to turn when your loved one’s case goes unsolved? On average, private investigative services can cost a family upwards of $30,000 to continue searching. No one should have to give up their search. And everyone should have a trusted resource that is highly recommended by leaders from many Indigenous nations. This is where NILJ comes in…but we need your help.

Our goal for our #MilesForTheMissing Virtual Race is to help families who’ve lost so much already. Families whose loved ones have been trafficked, kidnapped, are suspected homicide victims, and more. By walking, running, swimming, or riding 42 miles (in honor of the 4200 missing and murdered loved ones) during the month of May, you'll fund investigations to find missing Indigenous relatives.

 Collectively, we’re hoping to hit the 42,000 mile marker and raise $150,000 in the process!
