In response to ongoing tragedies and increased reports of human trafficking attempts, the Yurok Tribe declared a missing and murdered Indigenous women emergency. Tribal officials intend to raise awareness in an attempt to fight statistics that Native women are trafficked at disproportionate rates and murders of Native women are much more likely to go unsolved.
Guests:
Annita Lucchesi (Cheyenne descendent) – executive director of the Sovereign Bodies Institute
Kendall Allen-Guyer (Yurok, Karuk and Wiyot and enrolled in the Hoopa Valley Tribe) – MMIW project manager for the Yurok Tribal Court
Dr. Blythe George (Yurok) – assistant professor of sociology at the University of California-Merced
Jessica Carter – court director for the Yurok Tribal Court
