United We Stand: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons of South Dakota Exhibit and Panel
United We Stand: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons of South Dakota Exhibit and Panel – Thursday, June 13, 6:30 PM Indigenous persons are six times more likely than their white counterparts to go missing or to be murdered. Join us the evening of Thursday, June 13 at 6:30 p.m. at K.O. Lee Aberdeen Public Library as we set out to humanize the victims of these heinous crimes through visual representation and the telling of their stories, so that we might educate, as well as raise awareness of this issue. Part of United We Stand: MMIP in South Dakota, this event will include a panel discussion with members of the Aberdeen Police Department, Bureau of Indian Affairs and Tonya Hertel, the daughter of Monica Bercier Wickre, an Indigenous woman who went missing in Brown County in 1993.
