The event was well at-
tended and appreciated, un-
derscoring the Missing and
Murdered Indigenous crisis.
An example of the situa-
tion was apparent at the
MMIR Marathon itself:
Along the course, from
Warm Springs to Simnasho,
the organizers set up
memory signs. On the many
poster signs were names of
MMIR people from the lo-
cal community, as submitted
by relatives and friends.
“We ordered 20 signs and
filled all of them,” Reina
said. “There were only a
couple of names I didn’t
recognize myself. Making
the posters was very emo-
tional for us.”
The MMIR Marathon
was a volunteer gesture, or-
ganized by Reina and
Raylene Thomas. Starla
Greene donated the meal, a
huge help. The top teams
and runners finished in or-
der as follows:
