There’s something deeply unsettling about this, êkwa — not just the act itself, but what it reveals. A congressionally mandated report on Missing and Murdered Indigenous People — Not One More — quietly stripped from federal websites under the banner of “reviewing DEI materials.” But this isn’t DEI. This isn’t politics. This isn’t a culture war talking point. This is our daughters. Our sons. Our relatives. Our stolen ones. This report held over 250 testimonies — the voices of survivors, mothers, aunties, families who have been carrying grief heavier than any government document. It carried recommendations that could save lives, protect communities, and finally place accountability where it belongs. And it was removed. Think about that. A report created by law. A report ordered under a bipartisan act — one that President Trump himself signed. Taken down as though it were optional. As though these stories can be deleted as easily as a webpage. But our people know: tâpwêwin — truth — doesn’t disappear just because someone tries to hide it. Our stories live in the bodies that carry them. Our grief lives in the land. Our determination lives in every relative who refuses to be silent. And that’s what’s happening now. Tribal leaders, advocates, and lawmakers — from both sides of the aisle — are standing up. Because this isn’t about left or right. It’s about right and wrong. It’s about the ongoing crisis we have been screaming about for generations while the world pretended not to hear. Even if the link is gone, the work is not. Copies of Not One More are still held by our nations, our advocates, our warriors for justice. They are still using it. They are still fighting. They are still saying what our people have always said: Not one more stolen sister. Not one more stolen brother. Not one more family left in the dark. You can remove a report from a website. You cannot remove a people from their own truth. êkosi. —Kanipawit Maskwa #MMIPAwareness #TruthNotErased #IndigenousJu…
