Lissa Yellowbird Chase has been searching for missing and murdered Indigenous Americans since 2011. She works out of North Dakota with the Sahnish Scouts, a group of people dedicated to finding the missing and forgotten. Lissa was recently profiled in a collaborative piece by High Country News and the BBC and on Monday she joins Idaho Matters to discuss the issue of violent crime targeting tribal members and the jurisdictional problems that lead to faulty and non-existent investigations.
