Our guest this episode has traveled around Minnesota and other parts of the country to share his presentation, “Honoring Nada Fronk: A Native Father’s Experience With His Missing and Murdered Indigenous Daughter.” Monte Fronk oversees emergency management with the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Tribal Police Department and was kind enough to visit Columbia Heights City Hall for this recording, which will be split into two episodes. This episode features Monte’s story in full, and the next will feature our follow-up conversation with him. January is Human Trafficking Prevention Month. This will be the first of three episodes devoted to the topic of human trafficking. Content warning: Some parts of this story are disturbing, but we hope it brings more understanding and awareness to this very real issue. Thank you for listening.
