Summary

Seraphine Warren rose to prominence as an advocate for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women – walking 2,400 miles from Arizona to Washington, D.C. to draw attention to her missing aunt Ella Mae Begay, who disappeared from a Navajo Reservation in 2021. But while she spoke out publicly against the decades-long wave of violence against indigenous people, Warren allegedly led a vigilante kidnapping similar to the violence she ferociously condemned.
