Faith Phillips, a Cherokee writer, travels to each of the eight tribes across North America to document the crimes, share the intimate grief of families who continue to search for their missing women, and coordinate resources between state, tribal, and federal governments to demand answers, once and for all. Phillips further chronicles the historical violence against the Native nations where the crimes occurred to paint a painful image of how Native people have suffered. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Cherokee culture, women are considered sacred beings.
