| 0:10.0 | I am Northern Arapal and I reside here at the Winriver Reservation here in Wyoming. |
| 0:15.0 | I'm also Hank Papala Koda from the Standing Rock Zoo Tribe. |
| 0:20.0 | The purpose of recreating not our native daughters is because I wanted to bring attention for victims of Native American women and girls. |
| 0:29.0 | The bulk of that was human trafficking, child sex trafficking and of course our missing cases. |
| 0:34.0 | Back then there was no missing and murdered, our missing Indigenous women and girls acronym or movement at that time. |
| 0:40.0 | And so I wanted to create something that was specifically designed for Native American women and girls. |
| 0:46.0 | One of the things that was shocking to me was that we had the highest cases. |
| 0:53.0 | We had the statistics that showed that not only did we have high rates of missing but we had high rates of murders and we had high rates of victimization. |
| 1:03.0 | So if we top the charts in statistics according to US Census Bureau and you know a plethora of other research and studies that are out there, why isn't anybody else doing something about it? |

| 1:41.0 | Absolutely. When I first heard of MMIW, I would say it was back in 2010. |
| 1:48.0 | You know, nobody in the states here in the lower 48 were talking about MMIW or even knew what it was. |
| 1:54.0 | I'm a domestic violence survivor. I'm a sexual assault survivor. I'm a rates survivor. |
| 2:01.0 | So I'm fighting this from the core of who I am. |
| 2:05.0 | And if I have to run for office, if I have to lobby Congress, if I have to talk to some letters to the White House, if I have to beckon to the leaderships that in the powers that be, that's what I'm going to do. |
| 2:19.0 | Because I have dedicated my life that these statistics don't only hang over my head, but my daughter's heads, the daughters of my community, the daughters, Indigenous women and girls across the nation, and beyond that, |
