Summary
Did you know that seven hundred and ten Indigenous People were reported missing over the past decade in Wyoming? You probably never heard much about them in the media. Lisa and Jim interview guests Cara Chambers, Director of the Division of Victim Services at the Office of the Attorney General of Wyoming, and Emily A. Grant, Senior Research Scientist at the University of Wyoming to discussing the plight of missing and murdered Indigenous People in Wyoming.
We talk about the blind eye that gets turned on human trafficking in these vulnerable communities and the effects of mistrust in public services.
