Testimonies zeros in on the problem of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls. It's a problem that burst into public awareness across the Upper Midwest in the summer of 2017. That's when a young indigenous woman who was eight months pregnant was found murdered near Fargo, North Dakota. But the issue isn't new news within tribal communities. Rather it's an ongoing problem that has deep roots.

In this episode, you'll hear a round table discussion with producer and host, Meg Lindholm, and three guests.
