"I think that's a problem."

"'We continue to hear story after story of our people going missing – and where’s the outrage?' asked Nicole Matthews, Executive Director of the Minnesota Indian Women’s Sexual Assault Coalition. 'What becomes so disheartening is to really feel like we're so devalued and so invisible.'

One troubling disparity Matthews points out is the difference in the response to reports of the missing. For example, the disappearance of Gabby Petito and her subsequent murder in 2021 drew national headlines – a reaction often absent for victims of color.

'We don't have nationwide outrage because our people are missing. We don't have people who are talking about it in every community. I bet you most people outside of indigenous communities cannot name five indigenous women who've been missing or murdered. I think that's a problem,' Matthews stated."
