According to the Centers for Disease Control, murder is the third leading cause of death for Indigenous women.
Shantel Haynes recalls the time she last spoke with her mother, Debra BlackCrow.
The next day, BlackCrow, who was pregnant, was found dead. Authorities say BlackCrow's husband, Patrick McNeil, killed his wife. Natalie Weeks, a Native American educator and advocate, says the biggest issue is poor data sharing between tribes and the federal government. But it goes deeper than that. In 2016, the National Crime Information Center reported more than 5,500 cases of missing Indigenous women. The public database of the U.S. Department of Justice only reported 116 cases.
In 2021, the federal government created a Missing and Murdered Unit. It's focused on solving these kinds of cases. But a unit and a database can’t account for history.
