More Than Missing Statues: A Talk About Missing And Murdered Indigenous Women

Over the course of the fall and winter of 2020-21 two statues
were stolen, one from a park in Kansas City and the other from
the lawn of the Tulsa Historical Society. Besides being made of
bronze, the other distinguishing similarity these two statues had
in common was their subject matter. Both were of Osage women.


The theft of the statues brings to mind the murders of Osage
women one hundred years ago for oil rights, a chapter retold in
Killers Of The Flower Moon, but there is more to that story. It
is not from a long time ago, but current involving Missing and
Murdered Indigenous Women.


We speak with Cherokee author Faith Phillips about the issue of
MMIW and a project she is undertaking to do something about it.
