Ep 3 Sage in the City- Missing Murdered Indigenous Relatives
In this episode of Sage in the City, Bear and Savannah dive into the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives (MMIR). They trace the roots of violence back to colonization, sharing the true story of Pocahontas and the genocide of the Lucayan Taino people as early examples of exploitation and erasure. The hosts unpack how domestic violence, human trafficking, and systemic failures continue to put Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit relatives at disproportionate risk today. Drawing on statistics, lived experiences, and stories close to home—like the case of Allison Lussier in Minneapolis—the episode emphasizes both the deep grief and the ongoing movement for accountability and healing.
