Indigenous Women Keep Going Missing in Montana - YouTube This is such a good documentary. The numbers of MMIP in Montana is shocking.
The best thing that could happen in Montana, is to outlaw liquor sales and bars on reservations. Make them completely dry. It won't solve all of the problems, but it would be a huge step forward.
It would be particularly hard to do in Montana. Alcohol consumption is deeply ingrained into the culture there. I worked in Hill County one summer, and traveled around that area of Montana. Many places that look like "towns" on a map, are just crossroads composed of a gas station, a grain elevator, and a bar.
When it came time for us to leave Havre, and return to South Carolina, we drove a route that would let us travel through Yellowstone and see some of it. At some point, driving through a bleak, remote stretch of rangeland, we passed through a reservation settlement. The houses looked new, modern, and well-constructed, but it seemed that most of the windows were broken! It looked as if someone had thrown bricks or rocks through most of the windows. It was about 9AM, but there was no sign of life anywhere....no activity, no children on bicycles or playing sports, no dogs or cats, just nothing. The place had a dreadful, oppressive feel. I think it is hard for those of us who don't live on a reservation, to imagine the reality of life there.

‘It’s A Nightmare That Never Ends’: Indigenous Student Ashley Loring HeavyRunner Still Missing
Her sister vows “to keep standing for our missing so that one day that we will be seen as the same — as important.”

''In 2017, Ashley Loring HeavyRunner, a member of Montana’s Blackfeet Nation, expressed a desire to help spotlight the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous people across the United States and Canada. She then vanished and hasn’t been seen or heard from since.
“Ashley came up to me, and she said she wanted to help these women. She told me about what's going on with these women, that over in Canada, that a lot of girls are going missing,” Kimberly Loring told Insider of one of the last conversations she had with her sister. “And just a few months later, Ashley became one of those women.”
On June 5, 2017, Ashley wanted to go to a party and had written to friends on Facebook Messenger that she needed a ride from the family’s ranch into Browning, the only incorporated town on the 1.5 million-acre Blackfeet Indian Reservation. NBC News reported that a video from a party that night posted online shows Ashley, an environmental science student at Blackfeet Community College, on a couch talking with other people. It was the last time she was seen.''
''A short time later, the family began searching for Ashley and got a tip that a woman was spotted running from a vehicle on a reservation highway the same night as the party. Kimberly told Dateline she and a family friend found red-stained boots and a ripped sweater in the area of the incident. A witness later confirmed Ashley was wearing the sweater before she went missing, according to Kimberly.''
''Ashley has brown hair and eyes, stands 5’2” tall, and weighs about 90 pounds. She would now be 24.
A $50,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the location of Ashley Loring HeavyRunner. Tips can be submitted anonymously at 406-215-1543 or with the Salt Lake City FBI at 801-579-1400, 800-CALL-FBI or tips.fbi.gov.''
Wondering if and when the results will be in..Was it ever mentioned if the red stain on the boots were blood or paint?
