For this meeting, we are fortunate to feature a virtual presentation by University of Idaho Associate Professor Dr. Omi Hodwitz.  Dr. Hodwitz is a criminologist, educator and researcher who, among other areas of study, directs the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit (MMIWG2) databases at the University of Idaho.

Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIPs) is a long-standing and persistent issue in the United States and Canada.  Despite its prevalence, this phenomenon has been historically ignored by policy makers and practitioners, thus allowing it to continue unchecked. In this presentation, Dr. Hodwitz will discuss MMIPs in the United States and Canada, with an emphasis on women and girls in Idaho tribes.  She will introduce the audience to what is already known, what is being learned, and what is still to be uncovered.
