Honored that our 2019 @AJFaultLines film “The Search: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women” won @najournalists award for Best Coverage of Native America” in the TV category, Associate Division III: najanewsroom.com/2020-national-…

Sincere gratitude for the families who opened their homes to the us & shared their stories. We don’t take that responsibility lightly. Congrats to the team who worked on this: Senior Producer @KaviChek, Correspondent @alisonaher, Cinematographer @acspelman, editor @warwickmeade

You can watch "The Search" here, which looks the crisis of indigenous women going missing. @AJFaultLines traveled across the western US to Washington, Montana and New Mexico to find out what more could be done to address the problem.

Last week, Congress finally took some action to address the #mmiw crisis passing two bills, Savanna’s Act and Not Invisible Act. Indigenous women face murder rates that are more than 10 times the national average. Laws are meant to improve tracking, solving preventing cases

Congratulations to our colleagues at @AJEnglish news who were also honored by @najournalists for their coverage of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Girls. @shihab_rattansi @Jetbelgraver and Adrian Wilson
