This holiday week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday,

the fall line is re-releasing one of our most powerful series

and one we get the most feedback on from our listeners.

Our three episode coverage of Carolyn

Ford's work on the crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women,

girls and relatives in the United States and Canada and the story of her own

mother who was counted among them.

Carolyn's mother, Leona Kinsey, disappeared in 1999 in La Grande, Oregon.

Carolyn's search for her mother has continued even as she's worked to help countless other families,

both in her official role in the Puyallup tribe, through her advocacy group,

missing and murdered Native Americans, and via supporting legislation at the state and federal levels.

Trust us, you won't want to miss Carolyn's story or Lionas.

These are really powerful episodes. This is the fall line. This week we bring you our final installment in the story of Carolyn to Ford.

Her story itself certainly isn't over and her work both online and in the world continues today. But we'll bring you up to the

present day in the search for her missing mother, Leona Leclare Kinsy, and

recurs in the archives at all. Before Carolyn's own advocacy began, recorded by

journalists in her push for coverage and political address of the

crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls in the United States.

There were a few articles around the time of her mother's disappearance.
