High-profile cases increase pressure to better protect Indigenous women
The death of a 14-year-old girl from the San Carlos Apache Tribe is spurring questions nationally about what could have been done to prevent the tragedy.
Emily Pike’s remains were found three weeks after she went missing from a group home in Mesa, Arizona. A candlelight vigil over the weekend honored her memory. At least one other community event is scheduled.
Emily’s death also comes after authorities identified the remains found at a landfill in Manitoba, Canada, as Morgan Harris — a Native woman who is suspected to be a victim of a serial killer.
Join the conversation hear about both cases in context of pressure to improve the outcomes for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.
