This is a growing map of MMIW/P resources available across Turtle Island to help groups and families quickly locate agencies, non-profits, grassroots, and other organizations that provide direct services to families of MMIW/P and survivors of violence. The map was co-developed by Waking Women Healing Institute, the Data + Feminism Lab, and MIT students. We hope to improve responses and increase access to support for those experiencing violence and cases of MMIW/P.  Each dot opens a pop-up that shares the location, contact details, and services available for each known entity. Notably, this is an on-going, collaborative effort to map Indigenous-led, community-based organizations and we welcome your suggestions for groups that should be on the map. Please reach out to us with your suggestions at sthompson@wakingwomenhealingint.org and dignazio@mit.edu.

Waewaenen to Profs. Elizabeth Rule, Gabriella Carolini and Larry Susskind for leading the Indigenous Environmental Planning course from which our collaboration began.

We have expanded the mapped resources to include so called Canada, United States, and Mexico.  The image to the left is a highlighted view of what users will experience when navigating the map.  They can search and filter resources by 3 main categories: Direct Services, Coalition, and Both Coalition & Services.
