##### If you or a loved one are experiencing domestic or sexual violence and would like help, the **[StrongHearts Helpline](https://strongheartshelpline.org/?ref=rangemedia.co)** offers assistance from within an indigenous cultural context.

This week we speak with Yakama tribal member Jenny Slagle about some brutal, vital topics:

- The disproportionality with which our indigenous neighbors go missing, experience sexual violence, and end up murdered
- The structural poverty, ongoing genocide, and racist disregard that has allowed systemic failures to go unremarked-upon for decades.
- The deeply personal impacts for families whose loved ones go missing.

It’s a heavy topic, but essential.
