“Murder In Bighorn”. Episode 1 Of Missing and Murdered In Montana
We always hear about all of the great things that Montana offers. Whether you love the views, the open country, the history, or the endless outdoor activities, it seems like the world has discovered the "Last Best Place". We are no longer a hidden gem.
What people forget about, refuse to talk about, or perhaps just don't want to talk about is the number of missing people/children we have throughout the state. As of right now, Montana has 189 missing individuals.
Of the 189 missing, 83 of those cases are less than a year old, whereas 106 have been missing for a year or more. 51 of the missing person cases in Montana involve indigenous persons.
Let's be honest, it's not often we hear about the missing and/or murdered indigenous people cases, other than the original alert that someone is missing. In some cases the public isn't notified for weeks after an indigenous person has gone missing. Why is that?
To bring awareness and education to how horrific the situation regarding Missing and Murdered Indigenous Person's is, Museum of the Rockies, along with The Extreme History Project are showing a three part docuseries.
This event is one that gives you insight from people who have experienced, first hand, the horrible epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW), that is taking place here in Montana.
This event is just part 1 of the 3 part docuseries. You can can get more information and find out when part 2 of the docuseries will be presented at Museum of the Rockies right HERE.
