The bill H. 4880, introduced in the South Carolina House of Representatives, declares February 22, 2026, as "Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Justice and Awareness Day." This resolution aims to honor the lives of indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit individuals who have been lost or remain missing, as well as to support their families and communities in their pursuit of justice. The bill highlights the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered indigenous individuals, emphasizing the disproportionate rates of violence and the systemic barriers that contribute to the under-investigation of these cases.

The resolution encourages citizens of South Carolina, both indigenous and non-indigenous, to participate in awareness events and display red as a symbol of solidarity on this day. It also expresses the South Carolina House of Representatives' commitment to collaborating with tribal nations, state agencies, and community organizations to address issues related to missing and murdered indigenous women, human trafficking, and the systemic inequities faced by indigenous populations. A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to relevant tribal entities and state officials to promote awareness and action regarding this critical issue.
