KXLY July 17, 2021 4:03 PM Matthew Kincanon Updated: SPOKANE, Wash. The Spokane Regional Domestic Violence Coalition, in partnership with the Red Skirt Society, a local Indigenous women’s organization, will launch billboards in a campaign on Sunday, July 18, to bring awareness to the violence against Indigenous peoples in the region. Nationally, homicide is the third leading cause of death for Native Americans 10-to-24 years old. The coalition said that out of the 103 missing Native Americans identified by the Washington State Patrol as of April this year, 52 of those cases are from eastern Washington. In Spokane, they said 5 of the 9 cases are children between the ages of 14 and 17.
