Welcome back to "Rising Warriors Rachael Kulei"  Indigenous Podcast.

Today we will be talking on "Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women" with Operations Manager of Sovereign Bodies Institute, Michaela Madrid. She will be talking to us about the work that she does for the communities for our Missing and Murdered Native American Women. This is a topic that needs to be talked about and needs more awareness brought to attention on what is happening in Indigenous Country in the United States and in Canada.
