In South Dakota, advocates with the social services organization Sacred Heart Center held an event to raise awareness about the high rates of missing and murdered Indigenous people. The event was inspired by The REDress Project, by artist Jamie Black in Canada, where red dresses and t-shirts representing MMIP are displayed in the community.

The memorial is not yet open to the public, as Sazue and other Remembering the Children team members are working to secure an emergency management agreement with Rapid City, Pennington County and the three tribes that are seeking to reclaim the land: the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, Oglala Sioux Tribe and Rosebud Sioux Tribe.
When the memorial and walk are open, it will be the only large-scale boarding school memorial in the United States and will feature a walking path, statue, murals and eventually a healing facility and space for prayer.
