Thousands of people wearing red took part in a ceremony and march Thursday in Minneapolis in honor of indigenous people who are missing or have been killed.

The march, which began and ended at the Minneapolis American Indian Center, was held to raise awareness of violence against indigenous people and show that those who are missing or have been killed have not been forgotten.

"This march is about all of us here and all of us who are not here," said Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan at the event.

Darcy Menard, who lives in Redwing, Minn., ties a scarf with the word "justice" around her head before the march. "It's a way to bring awareness to the number of unsolved cases involving indigineous women, children and people, and to honor my sister," Menard said of why she took part in the march. Her sister, Cheyenne Fiddler, was killed in Wisconsin in 2012, Menard said.
