A brutal act of violence against a Native American woman in her own home highlights an epidemic of violence – the shocking number of crimes committed against Native American women and the lack of response to these crimes. The community rallied to fight for justice for this woman, but what about all the forgotten other women? Will they ever receive that same justice?
