to like this. my grandmother was kidnapped when i was 9 years old. kind of created fear in me is a child that you know if you could be taken the i wouldn't go missing and there murder that disproportionate rates,

any way or that on top of the socio economic impressions that are communities often face tied with the lack of access to resources such as internet and phone, sometimes it's really easy to get targeted by predators. i want you to think about the life and the love and the energy that this mother earth is giving you when the verdict was it. oh yes, we had a march downtown once time we had a lot of marches and walks. so it's a banner for savannah greatland. yeah, yep. she was murdered. the the

a hit they left. i need some help cracking the eggs. you helped me. it was bad like crack a joke too. you're going to get up for breakfast and i see you have a chipotle, a cup in your room. do you like having at the beginning? because as an artist and a curator, i'm interested in artwork, that highlights issues impacting the native community.

this is a piece done by james audio. it's titled out there it totally brought like a flash back to me of like watching my dad when i was a kid. i go out to look for my grandma and we were in the car, were driving home and he pulled off on the side of the road and walked out into the woods. and i remember like watching my dad kind of disappear into the woods and i was scared because i was afraid that he would come running back out and say that he'd found her body, you know, and that is the role that you know, families take on when someone goes missing is you know they, they go out and search themselves,

the women are nice. givers, women, sometimes run a household. they're the glue to the family. being from a matriarchal nature lineal people. when a woman goes missing it, it completely ends the lifeline for a clan to continue. so it's, it's big, it's a big deal. i can figure out how does in a half ago how

i got involved and kind of pushed into the forefront of missing and murder. indigenous women was when a young indigenous mother when she went missing in fargo, police, they didn't jump into action when the parents went to them and told them, our daughter is missing. that just hit all of us like just we saw the justice system fail, our community and the family the this is 100. are the one for person. let me just say i know we are top, hold it down while you're talking. ok,

you do it now. the grand i've been trying to i can't find a bull horn. i'll go take care of it. i'll just take care of it while you're doing you. i got this missing you murdered? indigenous march. that happens here. minneapolis was a 1st initiated by the minnesota indian women sexual assault coalition and it was just to march to bring awareness to the stuff a demick for years i've just participated. there were some incidents that have happened years prior, and we just wanted to make sure that the indigenous community could creve in morin and hill together in a safe space. oh my god, i think this isn't a big enough venue. i was trying to put. 7 guys, let's see if that's capable, then we can be blocked and the people need to be able to get in and out there

because i don't think the work that i'm doing right now is prompted on pilots that it was perpetrated upon me. somebody i care about very much just getting it by about 12 men. um then you know, it always gets a little different when it somebody you love cuz for some reason we don't love ourselves as much as we love our families anyway, just because i couldn't sit and do nothing is are you able? some are yeah. i had to get some stuff for my son. he's coming from his high school . oh, they're coming out with his indian ed class. yeah, i'm heading to the end of my

w march. and i'm thinking about my grandmother. and i'm thinking about what my family went through when she went missing, searching for her. those are the things that i think about when i go to the marches to think about those women who they were as individuals who my grandma was not how she died, but who she was as a person. yeah this is the 1st time that i've been out here since i was 9 years old. you know, my dad come home and said that my grandmother was missing and that was kind of this like shock of like what does that mean? like, how can she be missing? she's, you know, a grandma my grandmother, her name is danielle bernard,

and she was my grandmother's sister about like a native way. you know, she was my grandma and she was a tiny lady. i remember her being in a wheelchair and she liked to play. bingo. my uncle went to her apartments to check on her. they found her wheelchair and it was abandoned in the back of her apartment building. and it was bloody. and so do you know, it kind of leads you to believe the worst the we are we are going between your girl here with just a piece of ranger to keep it rosie. dolly. these are all for dignitaries. the

the if the hiring are certain and i follow it part of your face of like are you doing pretty good. going to be a great day. the face the it was like the last fall. i kept time. he almost ran into me and i was like,

you can't come in here. the last phone he's like, is that how you watch? we media sounds like you're not special. these people are special to me. you know. so he's out of here, but i want to know who the reporter is because that's why i want to talk to you from here. give me that baby. jeremy and i bear in mind that the more and more people are in this fight with the shoulder to shoulder to ensure that our native women and girls are to spare community that we are of value that we deserve to be seen and heard of, rejected the when i was 13 years old,

i witnessed my grandmother being murdered in front of me and i had been a victim to a sexual assault multiple times. i was living in rome, minnesota. there is a disabled vehicle. i was just trying to help them get home. and they were supposed to drop me off on the way back home and they kept going on. and once they passed the exit, i was like, well, you can just turn right here, just take her right here or start screaming. i said to them part of the vehicle and let me out. one of them said that they had a gun in the car and they would kill me. i think i kind of went into a shop to them and left the vehicle in the garage while the other one helped me down and reach me in the truck the. ready after it was done, he turned his back to me for a 2nd and i pushed them and i ran out and there is a gas station that was just down the hill. i ran back to the bathroom and i just

sat in there and i cried. good evening. everyone of family is desperately searching for a fargo woman who is 8 months pregnant. she's been missing for more than 48 hours. now. family believes she may be in danger. many people from del court, done seed and several other cities came to help with the search, all wanting to bring comfort and peace to savannah's family. when sevalla fontaine great, when flint missing it really hit home because it was an a young, native american women and working mom preparing for the arrival of their daughter. i didn't realize how traumatic the experience was just helping with the search until i drove to north fargo one time. but yeah, this whole area with a certain the search headquarters family. i put a call to action on facebook that week. and so everybody just showed up here

the, there was a young lady standing on top wireless tables. she knew she was emergency management students. they had the map of the whole area, assessing your search assignment, you just left. everybody realize the sense of urgency we were coming the river down here. so we did that until i got started. i was asked by 2 women from tournament and if i would leave the search just following day the when we went out to search for sweet smudges to sit. but we also stuck small balls

of seeds in our shoes, just because we didn't know what we were going to be coming across in the search. we were still hoping that she was alive, but we were still trying to prepare ourselves and, and protect ourselves the i want to welcome all of you here and thank you all for coming. we know that there have been attempted abductions, if you have or know of somebody that this has happened to and our community reach out to a trusted person might not be calling 911. it might be calling our american indian community advocate or navigator with the police department to make sure that our people are safe here. all of us have relatives that have been impacted by this. so i'm going to give

a minute for us to call out those relatives and just holler at out. it doesn't have to be one by one, just call out their name, send them some love the the me glad. we haven't forgotten them. we'll never forget them. and today is for them the as a culture of the society as a species, we have checked herself into believing that the extract is and domineering is the

way to be. we have to learn how to live in harmony with the natural world and each other. please come here. tab montana has a population of 218 people. they have 48 registered sex offender living in that area. the structure project came through and that time is a population of 280 the 600 the, the, the tribal community. when you look at the statistics, the man who are by sex, on average, their middle class white man. and sometimes that's who these construction workers are. they get away from this family for extended periods of time. they have an

access in money and time because the government and the price is the govern ourselves. we can't do anything about this. and this is you're going to ask 10, a good one. so after we shut down the search headquarters, drove back to our host and salt fargo, and it wasn't even long when lived breaking news came on. savannah great. when who disappeared? well 8 months pregnant was found dead wrapped in plastic in the red river. savannah le fontaine greens body was found by volunteers that were helping with the search at the time she was staying with her parents in their apartment. they stayed in the lower level apartment and the people upstairs on the top floor were brook

crews and william hand and that couple is responsible for her death. her murder broke cruise, got lice, and then they amended william haines sentencing to kind of be a little bit lesser i attended the hearings and heard like the, the recordings that's on the law enforcement. and it was very telling that the police officers didn't find a couple upstairs suspicious in any way. and that they had in turn put their focus on the family, told the family they couldn't go up past the 2nd floor. hearing him say, you know like that she always goes missing, which is completely false, but whether or not that played a part in police has implicit bias will never know the the good morning. my name is great grandmother mary lines my story began in 1990. when

my baby sister was murdered on new years eve, my daughter was missing and 1996. we were denied the opportunity to file a missing persons report. there's not a system to record accurately the number of missing and murdered women in indian country. the 1st time i testified it was hopeful and motivated to see that at least somebody in my state was trying to address this here. so i told myself, i am going to go live be on behalf of this stuff. i'm going to share some of my story then i have it shared before the woman who gave birth to me disappear when i was 3 years. all that fun me and so the foster care system i had my virginity taken at the age of 9 years down the road. i was 20 years

old, i was kidnapped, i was born and i was met. and was that all the way down here to saint paul or i thought for my freedom and i escaped. i'm having a good police officers. i know this because i haven't counted them can on that day when i flag down the squad card on ray street. that's great help. didn't believe me . to a sweetheart. you live nearby, you must, you are very healthy. there's a family of eagles that lives like almost straight across the lake over there. and you can see a lot of wildlife around here. i've lived in this area for 10 years, and this is the lake that i've always live close to since i've lived here. so i

often come here and i bring tobacco to her a she remembers when you come in and talk to her this task force bell got wrapped up in one of these messy omnibus bills. that also included a bill that would have creased charges against people peacefully protesting your critical infrastructure. so early it's tact, but it had it had to tell people to call and veto that bill sworn. i vetoed the omnibus budget bill, the $985.00 pages of mostly policy, the reservations in every sport try cities and there's nothing we can do about it every one of us doesn't. i think we all feel as active as of we

called free. they don't remember much about the actual investigation, but i remember our family searching for her body and they knew right away who it was. it was her neighbors, son had actually just gotten out of prison for raping and murdering another woman. and you know, like within 2 weeks, my grandma, i got this thing, they caught this guy, i guess, somewhere down by sioux falls, they found blood in his truck that matched my grandma. it was actually my uncle who had went to this man in prison and asked, could you tell us where she is? and you told him like you're going to be in prison the rest your life anyway. like can you just tell us where she is? so that we can bring her home so we can bury her. and so the guy did, he told me,

i'll call where her body was. and so our family came out here where her body was discovered. there's so many women that go missing and their families don't find out where they are. they are still looking. i think that's the worst part is to have somebody be missing and not get that closure to bring them home. so i think that that's one thing to be grateful for, that our family was able to get that covered. how is your day good. that's good to still hon. license. maybe the fluid still down there are probably still have to throw it out and they get home around about it

fargo's the largest city in north dakota and the most populated. but the native american community has always been very supportive of one another. and a lot of us have experienced injustice within our lifetime. so that's kind of a common theme. there still really are gaps within the justice system, whether it's intentional or by design is true. you know, you hear that old saying if you're not at the table or you're on the menu, the team newly elected legislators are sworn into office today. among the newcomers is roof buffalo, who became the 1st native american democratic women, elected in north dakota. i got sworn in december 8th of 2018. i really didn't put much thought until like what i was going to where, but i did bring my regalia just in case i bounced this question off with one of my

sister friends. and i was like blazer madell in a shell earrings or out to dress in queue, responded right away. oh she just. so i was like okay, i'm going to do the update. yes. so this is a replica of. ready my grandma's dress, this is made from a lady from back home in boundaries. i'm used to being uncomfortable or unfortunately having other people be uncomfortable by my presence or by wearing a dress or you know, even with um, being a native woman in the, in the legislature. the attacks are a little bit different. it's kind of vicious at times with the land o'lakes us getting rid of the maiden. but her maiden was getting attacked a lot like to the point where i had to get a new number like i have a separate number just for my family. so that way too, if i need to just take a break packages, smudgin clean

a wife myself or some things i have encountered. i guess you could say in like the state legislature, i want to stay whole unhealthy so i can continue to serve for people in a good way. no. see that he runs off all the other squirrels that try to come onto the street. and he's like this big yeah, so we need to napoleon it is that's the boy away face of us here. by his he's going to hang out with a friend as a friend, ordered him a lyft to go to wherever they're going to hang out. yep. yeah, nice. so i went to public school and says the 10th and

while it was on the reservation, you know, the public school did not provide you know, history on dakota, people in general. i did not start learning about our history until i went to college at the sister washington college. and that's where i started to learn about how we ended up insisted in on the lake traverse reservation. and so that's where i started learning. really the details about the uprising and the outcome legislation that made it illegal for dakota, people to reside in minnesota beings separated from our homelands as part of what has caused you know, the historical trauma that are people are suffering from didn't understand that until i moved to minnesota and is like, this is home, this is like my home, like the reservation, that's just where they put us. so the water in it don't

reset. when i moved here to minnesota, i had access to speakers, but when i would meet somebody who spoke to language, that person would speak to me and it was like a brick wall. when up in my head, it was literally like my ears would not hear what was being said. and i felt so bad because i was like, i'm this artist that using language in my work. like why can i not speak english? but it was an understanding for me of that's part of my trauma for me creating artwork that reconnects me to my culture. and my language has strengthened my identity as a dakota woman. and it's part of healing from historical traumas and from being displaced from our land. and being separated from our language so much that has been done to eliminate and need a presence in this country. part of that is what goes into y issues like and then

my w exist good afternoon, re, i'm just on a house of public safety and criminal justice reform will come to order representing corners. pretty. thank you chair. i would invite missy beth, i know to come speak now. welcome experimental. mister chairman, committee members. like to start by taking representative mary for bringing this bill for her. and i think everyone in this room, everyone at this committee, everybody who can hear my voice right now to not allow this bill to become a bargaining chip on the table at the end of the session. this bill needs to go for housing before hearing miss bill needs to arrive on teams, desk needs to sign. it's been too long. we fight for this bill. last year we got it

into the omnibus bill into the politics. we lost it, not this year employ. you please our community to deserve ceiling is women deserve test. this is not something new. 500 years. we've been waiting for this. my sisters, my people have gone missing since european settlers set land here on turtle island . this time for joseph. this is time for healing the church. every time to step in pain on ceilings is really painful. so i'm sick of being sky box. but every time we testified, it seemed like there is one more woman there to share her story or to share her loved one story. there was one more person that was sitting there in the audience,

holding us in their hearts. and then it was just really beautiful to see the people to be able to come out and support that and to feel seen, to feel hurt the reality in this moment. is it the fact that we are all still here? speaks to the resiliency of so many of our ancestors introduced to you. another sister in this fights, she just has into the battle of the north dakota legislature as the only need

a woman to serve. there we give it up for my sister representative brewed buffalo, the i just want to say thank you. people for welcoming my family, my community, my district 27. my try but into your home loans. it's a beautiful day and it's a good day today my base to give i have my daughter here with me. she's out in the crowd there. she's 17. and she is why i do this work. the many of you know, in august of 2017, a young indigenous woman went missing. savannah la fontaine, great. when she went missing in fargo, in our backyard, so to speak right in our community. and many of us were forced to the front lines

to search for her. and many of us just like you and me, you were big sisters and we have no choice but to take action. we didn't want to waste time convincing law enforcement that we are human beings, and that we deserve rapid response. the through the trauma that we're all so familiar with in our indigenous communities. we took actions just like you're doing today. we farmed a local task force. the task force gave me a list of legislation that they wanted to see introduce. i brought those with me to the state capital and got them successfully introduced and passed into law. so i shared out to share the possibilities. not until we see these possibilities in front of us, and we know fully that any one of us can do this get within these systems and fix the systems to work for us to honor us as human beings. and then the

drummer is you guys will be inside right behind the work document. it will be the rest of the curb. and then i'll do the rest of the body of the march get calls to get warm. your karen remind sorry to hit me with his band earlier. i don't appreciate that. yeah, the before i get started, i just wanted to ask you to explain the significance of the cloth that you have on the table. the skirt was made by an individual by the name of
