Wisconsin Tribes Demand Justice for Missing, Murdered Indigenous People

At a rally at the Wisconsin State Capitol, families and advocates shared the names of missing and murdered Indigenous women and men and ‘some’ cases have gone unresolved for decades. Rachel Fernandez, an advocate and survivor, says breaking the “code of silence” rooted in the trauma of the federal Indian boarding school era is key to ending the cycle of violence in Indigenous communities. Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul says a state task force has recommended a permanent office and improved tribal data tracking but funding remains a hurdle.
