Part 1: In the United States, American Indian/Alaskan Native and Native American peoples experience higher rates of violence than any other demographic. In fact, Native American women and girls are disproportionately affected by the violence. For example, a 2016 study by the National Institute of Justice estimated that 84 percent of American Indian and Alaska Native women have experienced violence in their lifetime. There are 23 locations determined to be “hot spots” for MMIW cases, five of which are identified as being of the highest priority for intervention due to their disproportionately high rates of MMIW cases. While numerous cases are related to the United States extractive industries, such as gas and oil, and “man camps,” our guest for today shares her family’s experiences regarding the murder of Nicole Smith (Coastal Pomo Nation), horizontal violence against MMIWS2+ peoples within the Coastal Pomo nation, and the complicities of the Mendocino County Sheriff and the United States federal government’s in failure to investigate and bring justice for Nicole Smith, Bernadette Antoinette Smith, the Smith family, and the Coastal Pomo nation located in what is known as Mendocino County, California.
