In #Montana, #Indigenous people are 6.7% of the population but 26% of missing persons cases.
Grieving families are often left to search on their own, let down by law enforcement and the legal system.
When Haley Omeasoo's relative disappeared on the Blackfeet rez in 2017, she decided to pursue forensics to help stop the #MMIP crisis.
Now as she earns her Ph.D, she's also founding her own forensics lab to help Indigenous families. A first, as far as she knows.
