I am so saddened by the story of Emily Pike.

I don't think there is a single person in or connected to Indian Country who doesn't know someone who has been a victim of the MMIW crisis. It affects us all deeply as mothers, sisters, cousins....because it is clear that the authorities not only fail to take it seriously but, in the worst cases, actively obstruct justice.

I know there is a bill in the Arizona State House to implement an AMBER Alert system for missing Indigenous people, and I hope the nationwide coverage of this case will help push it through. No matter where you are, it is worth writing to your representatives about.

We have got to do better. No more stolen sisters! ♥🖤

Thank you for acknowledging this. I cry every time I think of her. She's the same age as my niece. 💔

Missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls is an ongoing horror and the police treat them with open contempt. There have been women and girls who have gone missing in my area. I hate it I hate it I hate it. I want closure and peace for their families.

i saw it on youtube. absolutely horrible and not an isolated event. I watched a show with Hillary ??? and she showed how the Alaskan women were being targeted too.

So sad these things happen so frequently but get less coverage than missing white children.
