URGENT CALL TO ACTION — HELP BRING DAKOTA HOME

James “Dakota” Smith, a 34-year-old father, son, and member of the Ma’amtagila Nation, has been missing since November 6, 2026, near the Adam River on northern Vancouver Island.

His family, Nation, and volunteers continue searching in extremely difficult conditions. They urgently need renewed government support and specialized search resources.

We are asking everyone to take action today.

Every moment matters. Help bring Dakota home.

In solidarity with Dakota’s family and the Ma’amtagila Nation.
