“We have no idea where she could be.”
In the summer of 2017, I read aabout a young Native American woman named Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind. A citizen of the Spirit Lake Tribe of North Dakota, Savanna lived with her parents and siblings in a tidy, working-class neighborhood in Fargo. After entering their apartment building one afternoon, she had vanished. She was 22 and eight months pregnant.
On a cloudy afternoon on February 15, 2017, a handful of Native women advocates gathered in Washington, DC. They had come to this small airless room in the Senate’s Hart Building to brief Congress on the issue of missing and murdered Native women and girls. Some of the advocates had been venturing to such rooms for decades, to present their case, educate political leaders, and fight for legislation to protect Indigenous women. There had been progress, but not nearly enough.
Five days after she was last seen, Hanna’s decomposed body was found near the Lame Deer rodeo grounds on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. Her pants were yanked down, her shirt and bra shoved up. Her remains were in such poor condition that officials couldn’t determine a cause of death. A man named Garrett Sidney Wadda and his girlfriend, Eugenia Rowland, eventually were charged.
