Navajo Nation Reservation 2026: This was a disturbing shoot for me. Within the borders of the Navajo Reservation, somewhere along desolate US Rt. 160, lies an abandoned motel covered layers of what I initially thought was just graffiti; but it turned out to be much more than that. From an overhead loud speaker a blaring voice repeats itself on a looped recording. It was bone chilling to hear it, but after a few minutes of taking it all in; I understood the message. It wasn’t a cry for help, or a warning not to trespass; it was a story of injustice. A narrative that spanned decades, if not centuries of the brutal mistreatment of Native American women, and the failure of any system to stop it.

As of today, there are over 4,500 unsolved murder and missing persons cases related to Native American women between the ages of 1 and 17, and of those cases 95% of them have never received any media coverage at all - anywhere. In 2024 5,700 cases were reported with only 116 of those being on record with the US Dept of Justice. The communication breakdown between tribal and US law enforcement is massive. In 1978 the US Supreme Court ruled in Oliphant vs. The Suquamish Tribe, tribal courts do not have inherent criminal jurisdiction over non-Native Americans who commit crimes on tribal land. Then in 2022, this ruling was revised to allow tribal authorities to detain, but not prosecute, non-Native Individuals that committed certain crimes on tribal land until other law enforcement could arrive and take over. Lack of resources have gravely impacted the success of this new ruling.

All the while the silenced ghosts of these women still walk among us. Year after year still missing, forgotten, disregarded, and overlooked. If you, or anyone you know has information that could help solve one of these cases please contact the Bureau of Indian Affairs at (833)560-2065. You are also encouraged to reach out to the FBI at (800)225-5324.
