while on a cross-country trip should be a reminder of hundreds of Native American girls and women who are missing or murdered in the United States., said that her heart goes out to Petito’s family, but that she also grieves for “so many Indigenous women″ whose families have endured similar heartache “for the last 500 years.″
The law is named for Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind, a member of the Spirit Lake tribe who was abducted and killed in 2017 near Fargo, North Dakota. Greywind, 22, was pregnant, and her unborn baby was cut from her body. Her remains were found in the Red River.Haaland said she sees her mission as interior secretary in part as a way to elevate attention on Native American issues.
“Anytime a woman faces assault, rape, murder, kidnapping — any of those things — it’s very difficult and my heart goes out to any family who has to endure that type of pain,″ she said. “And so, of course, my heart goes out to the young woman who was found in Wyoming.″
Americans have a long, long way to go to give recompense to Native Americans for the horrific things they did to them and are still doing.
Try covering these deserving people NBCNews lesterholt the nativeamerican people are the most oppressed people in the usa not the blacks which receive more assistance and handouts than any race in the usa but the racists don’t want to admit it
How is this even possible? Interesting the natives of US, Australia, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand all have are a small minority population with little growth it almost seems strategic as if it were planned that way
Absolutely
Only the native girls huh, what has this country devolved into, when government reps feel the need to only shout out their communities. She should be fired all women not just native all women ‼️
The media picks who they’ll focus on & bombards us with THAT story! MSMistheproblem
Yes!!!!!!
I agree the media doesn't give that coverage to people of color totally biasness
mhiatt11 SHES TALKING TO YOU Do you understand irony?
Thanks for posting this important story!!
Songstress28 That’s what one heard on npr within little time…
She is so right I think we should have humongous stories about all of the 600,000 people that go missing each year.
That’s accurate. It’s a nightmare in tribal lands for women here in America. Again before we solve the worlds problems let’s try check a few of our own off the backlog. Youwillfeelbetter. Don’t get me started on all other non white list people.. travesty of US humanity
Do these native Americans have blogs on YouTube and Instagram documenting their life's journeys with their boyfriend? I'm pretty sure it had to do with her following. If I went missing nobody would know either.
garywhite13 Who has jurisdiction on tribal lands to investigate those missing children A movie, “Wind River”, is based on a true story and addresses missing/exploited Native America women.
I mean that’s kind of callous to make this political right now before Gabby’s family even buries this young woman. These people have the empathy and tact of Donald Trump.
Yes!
oh man. please, please don't do that. i just lost a bit of respect here.
The thing is, a vast majority of “missing” women are runaways, they left and don’t want to be found. This case is different
That should have been a separate thing for her to talk about.
Yes, girls of all races go missing. It’s sad but nothing to do with race.
Want attention? Do a travel blog on social media then get killed.
Never miss an opportunity
I feel for the Petito family but I'm pissed for all People of Color, another slap in the face as we watch the abusive treatment of the way Black Refuggees are treated by the U.S Treat the Haitians with compassion & treat our missing children like they're lives matter too! BLM
Probably because this was soap opera material with the constant fake social media lifestyle and the guy refuses to say anything even though the guilt is so glaringly obvious. That’s what makes it interesting, not race.
Agreed
Hundreds compared to thousands? Sit down grandstander!
You don’t follow condolences with the word ‘but’.
This case was unique. She chronicled their whole trip. These were clues, a trail of breadcrumbs. It was like living out a true crime podcast in real time. I’m pretty sure people would’ve tried to solve it, regardless of color.
The she should clean up the reservation! Horses are treated better than women! Despite the “spirituality” fraud, misogyny IS the native way. Please, white people, you know nothing about natives.
The media will only do 1 event until the next story comes along that they can profit from. It's sad.
Talk to the media. Ask why they're not reporting these stories.
Well, the tribal govt’s should start publicizing people that go missing. Petito was a known blogger, which a major reason why her disappearance drew publicity.
Is there anyone in Biden’s administration who has a functioning brain and not governing with some hidden racial agenda?!
Totally agree.
Has the AP though about covering those stories?
Always the victims 🙄
Why does this have to be turned into a political deal? Look, she was a TikTok star that had a following, so of course when she suddenly goes silent, it’ll get attention. Like stop the division bs already. Lend a hand, don’t point a finger!
