Olympia, Wash.—A bill creating an alert system for missing indigenous women and people within Washington passed the state Senate. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Debra Lekanoff from Skagit County, would create an early alert system that would distribute information about the missing person, similar to a Silver Alert.
"This isn't just an Indian issue. This is a Washington state crisis and Washington state is better than that," Lekanoff told KING 5.(Snip) Indigenous women and people go missing more than four times than white women, according to research conducted by the Urban Indian Health Institute in Seattle.

Maybe I'm missing something. Aren't missing women the same whether they are "indigenous" or not? Shouldn't all missing women be treated with the same importance? This just seems like another silly useless piece of legislation that offers no extra protections to anyone but makes woke people feel better about themselves for doing something to help protect what the see as a special class of women needing their protection. In reality, all women who are missing need special protections.

# 2 The left talks about unity except that they push division. At every turn.

So, you can't have just a "missing person"? Sounds like baloney to me.
A person is missing or not, and that has NOTHING AT ALL to do with their ethnic background. This is stupid.

This fails to acknowledge indigenous people with ingrown toenails.

Whats the difference between a missing person alert and a missing indigenous person alert? Could this be indigenous privilege?

They all went ballistic when the hunt was on for Gabby Petito after she went missing in Grand Teton National Park. Waaaah waaah….they don’t do that for our girls when they go missing.
I can imagine an indiginous girl wanting to run away from the tribe and not be found...

It's Washington state, west side of the Cascade mountain range. Seattle. Oh, Olympia is also on the west side of the Cascade mountain range. That's where a glob of Californians moved and took over the NW. Oh I guess if it's a white woman missing, just shove the police requests into file 13. Not getting privileged treatment.

How many of these people go missing due to their sketchy lifestyle choices?

What are they talking about? If an American Indian goes missing, won't the regular missing person system work good enough?
Are they talking about the Washington Redskins? We found them. They went generic.

How will it appear on an interstate sign? Red Alert? Nope; racist.

There was something on TV about this. Apparently missing native American women number in the hundreds.
Ever look at one of those 'missing children' boards? I see them in Walmart. The one I looked at, over 90% of the missing children were girls.
There is something very wrong here. Most people probably don't realize the extent of what's going on. Most of the missing children were black. The article basically says the same thing is happening among native Americans. Both are populations where it is easy for people to go missing.
Just how big is the sex trafficking industry in our country?

As a real Native American, my folks can do their own tracking and do not require democrat special interest pandering. Our family patriarch, a WWII combat vet and Trump supporter, passed away a few years ago, before the coup, leaving me the next man up.

A special alert system set aside for Indians. Have they looked into who is causing these indigenous women and people to "go missing?" The overwhelming odds are that it's fellow Indians doing the crimes, but it's not an Indian issue.
