What official evidence shows
These dated figures come from official public sources. They use different definitions and time periods, so do not add them together or treat them as a worldwide total.
United States
About 4,200
The Bureau of Indian Affairs estimates about 1,500 American Indian and Alaska Native missing-person cases and about 2,700 murder and nonnegligent-homicide cases remain unsolved.
Scope: BIA estimate; the agency also warns that no reliable national count exists.

1,181
A 2014 RCMP review covering 1980–2012 identified 1,017 homicides of Indigenous women and girls and 164 unresolved missing-person cases.
Scope: Historical police review; it is not a current or complete total for all Indigenous people.

More than 128,000
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights reported that more than 128,000 people were listed as missing when its Mexico report was finalized in June 2025.
Scope: All people in Mexico; the published figure is not an Indigenous-only count.

Countries use different definitions and systems, many cases are underreported or misclassified, and Indigenous identity is often missing from official records. These country figures cannot be added together.
The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women estimates that one in three Indigenous women is raped during her lifetime and says evidence about violence varies greatly by issue and region. That is broader violence evidence, not an MMIP case count.
Read the official source: UN CEDAW General Recommendation No. 39Development roadmap
MMIPS will not place South American countries into one shared case system. After Mexico, planning should proceed with Indigenous communities and local experts in each country, with separate reporting paths, language access, privacy rules, moderation, infrastructure, and data.
No future country or South America planning page accepts submissions or case information.
Why separate country sites?
Indigenous communities, reporting agencies, privacy rules, and support resources differ from country to country. Each MMIPS country site is built around those local needs while following the same core safety and privacy standards. When a case needs cross-border awareness, only approved public information is shared.
