Modern World History

Across the United States and Canada, Native Women and Girls are being taken or murdered at an unrelenting rate.

"The alarming reports of abduction and murder of Native women highlight one of the most devastating issues facing Tribal communities. On some reservations, Native women face murder rates more than ten times the national average. These disappearances and murders are often directly linked to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, sex trafficking, and longstanding harms impacting Indigenous communities. Understanding these connections is essential to addressing the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIWR)."
