It’s worth mentioning that indigenous women face an incredibly high level of violence, and face unique challenges to getting judging. Chief among these are public law 280. This video offers a good explanation.

The issue is PL-280. Authorities can’t even investigate indigenous women’s disappearances at all unless they know the race of the perpetrator who killed her. This is because indigenous on indigenous crimes must be investigated by tribal police whereas non-tribal member on indigenous crimes are investigated by either the FBI or state police. Problem is, with disappearing women, you often won’t know who the perpetrator is without an investigation. It’s a horrible situation where indigenous women simply don’t get looked for by investigators. It’s fundamentally not the same as for any other race. You should really do a lick of research before forming opinions like these in the future. this video is a good start. I’ve timestamped to the part that explains PL-280.

I don’t think you realize just how bad the situation is for indigenous women. Because of the complex bureaucracy surrounding reservations described in Public Law 280, authorities can’t even investigate indigenous women’s disappearances unless they know whether the perpetrator was indigenous or not (as this determines which agency has jurisdiction over the crime). This means that while there’s at least an investigation into other disappearing women, indigenous women often don’t get any at all. It’s a real issue and you should educate yourself before assuming the focus on indigenous women comes from nowhere at all. Seriously, read up on PL 280. this video is a good start
