 "Indigenous women, girls & two-spirit people are far more likely to experience violence, be murdered, or go missing than other demographic groups in Minnesota. Although indigenous Women make up just 1% of the States population, from 2010-2018, 9% of all murdered women and girls were Indigenous. 

 In any given month from 2012 to 2020, anywhere from 27 to 54 indigenous women and girls went missing in Minnesota. Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people are far more likely to experience violence, be murdered, or go missing compared to other demographics in the state.
