The Bakken oil shale's impact on Native American women
My previous reporting on missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada began over two years ago. With support from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis reporting, I expanded this work in the Bakken oil shale (North Dakota and Montana) area. While humanizing grieving families, I hone in on why Native American women (and men) are targeted with impunity, how the oil industry is involved, and the complications of what “justice” actually means for Native American communities.
