About two dozen advocates for Native American communities gathered in downtown Santa Fe, N.M., on Oct. 10, 2022, when most government offices were closed in commemoration of Indigenous Peoples Day, a state holiday. New Mexico is creating a new advisory council that will be charged with implementing a state plan for responding to cases of missing or slain Native Americans, with top state officials vowing on Nov. 28, 2023 that the work will lead to more people being found and families gaining closure.
