Yep. I feel there is a middle ground and a lot overstated too. Twitter was almost unbearable with people trying to garner street cred by bringing this up before her body is even properly buried. For instance there was a study cited, well, just about everywhere, that 710 Indigenous people were reported missing from 2011 to 2020 in Wyoming!!!! Pretty amazing and shocking stuff being repeated everywhere. Then you read the report and it states:
"Between 2011 and September 2020, 710 Indigenous persons were reported missing. Some Indigenous people were reported missing more than once during the time period, resulting in a total of 1,254 missing person records for Indigenous people. Eighty-five percent were juvenile, and 57% were female. They were reported missing from 22 counties in Wyoming.
Ten percent of missing Indigenous people are found within the same day they are reported missing, 50% are found within one week.
One-fifth of the Indigenous people reported missing were missing for 30 or more days, which is a higher percentage than White people missing for 30 or more days (11%).
Currently, 10 Indigenous people are listed as missing (3 females and 7 males).
Good write up too though that does show the indigenous missing do not get enough and as much attention as missing white people. I think we can all admit this to being true for a host of reasons, mainly race and income. Yet everyone is shouting from the hills, including news folks that "OMG 710 indigenous people are missing in Wyoming from 2011-2020" when report says 80% of them were found within first 30 days and there are only 10 still missing at time of its publication. I don't care about twitter justice warriors pulling this stuff but irritating to see journalists retweeting.
