84% of American Indian and Alaska Native women have experienced violence more than once in their lifetime.

This episode investigates the 2005 murder of 18-year-old Lakota Renville, an indigenous woman whose body was found in Independence, Missouri. The host examines how sex trafficking, systemic neglect in indigenous communities, and jurisdictional complications have left the case unsolved for nearly two decades, while connecting it to the broader missing and murdered indigenous women crisis.
