North Dakota family pushes for "Feather Alert" to aid missing Indigenous cases

The family of Renzo Bull Head testified before North Dakota lawmakers in support of HB 1535, which would establish a "Feather Alert" system to rapidly notify the public about missing Indigenous individuals. With Indigenous people disproportionately affected by disappearances, advocates stress the system could save lives by improving communication between law enforcement and tribal communities. The bill is currently under consideration in the state legislature.
