SUMMARY:Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples Month Special Emphasis: How Tribal Gaming Contributes to the Protection of Indigenous Communities
DESCRIPTION:As we observe Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples Month (MMIP)\, the NIGC is organizing a special virtual conversation focused on the critical issue of protecting Indigenous populations\, particularly through the lens of Tribal communities. This dialogue aims to shed light on the intersection of tribal sovereignty\, public safety\, and economic development within Native American Communities. We believe that local tribal programs\, often supported by tribal gaming revenues\, play a significant role in advancing these objectives in providing safer and resilient tribal communities. The Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma and the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians will share how they are addressing MMIP in their communities and across their states. The NIGC anticipates an engaging and informative exchange on these important topics. Register today to attend this important virtual conversation. \nSpeakers:  \nNIGC Vice Chair Jeannie Hovland and Associate Commissioner Sharon Avery\nCheyenne and Arapaho Tribes Governor Reggie Wassana\, Executive Office of the Governor LaRenda Morgan\nSan Manuel Band of Mission Indians Treasurer Latisha Prieto and a special message from a Tribal Youth MMIP Advocate
