MMIR Balloon Release Memorial - Pierre

On May 2, 2024, South Dakota Urban Indian Health is hosting a balloon release to honor and remember our missing and murdered relatives in preparation for National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives (MMIR) on Sunday, May 5, 2024.

Please plan to gather at the Causeways by the River at 6 PM on Thursday, May 2. There will be cards available to write the name of loved ones we have lost or are still missing to be released with the balloons. We will release the balloons followed by a prayer and song. Attendees will receive a to-go snack bag with a sandwich, chips, and cookie. 

We look forward to spending this important evening of healing and support with our community members. All are welcome. 

YOU'RE ALSO INVITED to join us for Inipi on Sunday, May 5th, at 6 PM for MMIR in Pierre/Fort Pierre.
