In this episode we get into the harrowing crisis of missing and murdered Native American and Alaska Native individuals. For decades, communities have faced disproportionately high rates of assault, abduction, and murder. Community advocates trace this tragic legacy back to generations of systemic violence and government policies of forced removal and land seizures.

A 2016 study by the National Institute of Justice revealed that over 84% of American Indian and Alaska Native women have experienced violence, with more than half enduring sexual violence. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that homicide is a leading cause of death for AI/AN women aged 1-45 and AI/AN males aged 1-54. Native communities also face significant challenges in human trafficking, both sex and labor.

We share the heart-wrenching stories of Shacaiah Blue Harding, Alex Lawson, and Tammy Nattaway, three individuals who remain missing, highlighting the relentless search efforts by their families and communities. These stories underscore the urgent need for greater awareness, resources, and action to address this crisis.

Join us as we explore these haunting tales and shed light on the ongoing plight of Native American and Alaska Native communities.

In this episode of "Nightmares of the Americas: Indigenous Tales," we check out the eerie and fascinating world of the Dine' beliefs to uncover the mystery of the Chindi. 

According to Dine'  tradition, a Chindi is the malevolent spirit of a deceased person, embodying all their negative traits such as anger, envy, and other undesirable qualities. This sinister spirit is said to linger after death, causing harm, illness, and misfortune to anyone who encounters it. 

We explore the precautions Dine' people take to avoid these malevolent spirits, including conducting death rituals outside the home and even abandoning houses where someone has died. These practices highlight the deep respect and fear the Dine'  have for the Chindi, emphasizing the need to maintain balance and harmony within their communities.

Join us as we uncover the cultural significance of the Chindi, its connection to death, and the broader themes of life, duality, and spiritual forces. Tune in to understand how the Chindi serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of dealing with the negative aspects of life and ensuring that the spiritual world does not disturb the living.

Jeremy Skibicki, who stands charged with the brutal murders of three First Nations women—Rebecca Contois, 24; Morgan Harris, 39; and Marcedes Myran, 26—as well as an unidentified woman named Mashkode Bizhiki'ikwe, or Buffalo Woman, by community leaders. Believed to be in her 20s and Indigenous, Buffalo Woman's tragic fate remains a reminder of the systemic violence faced by Indigenous women in Canada.

Rebecca Contois is thought to have been the last of the women killed, with her death occurring around May 14 or 15, 2022. The case took a pivotal turn when Skibicki was apprehended on May 17, one day after police discovered Rebecca’s partial remains in garbage bins near his North Kildonan apartment. Further investigations led to the discovery of more of her remains at a Winnipeg landfill.

Prosecutors argue that these heinous acts were not random but intentional and racially motivated. They contend that Skibicki preyed on vulnerable Indigenous women at Winnipeg homeless shelters before brutally ending their lives and disposing of their bodies in garbage bins.

Join us as we uncover the details of this tragic case, examining the broader issues of racial violence and systemic failures that continue to endanger Indigenous communities.
