Spirit Lake Tribe mobilizes to address missing Indigenous people
Spirit Lake Nation is continuing its efforts to search for missing Indigenous people in North Dakota, including a recent focus on Renzo Bullhead, a 20-year-old member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. According to a recent Spirit Lake Nation press release, the tribe has joined other tribes in deploying numerous resources, including drones and boats, to assist in the search. The Spirit Lake Tribe is also offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of two of its own members, Isaac Hunt and Jemini Posey. In honor of Posey and Missing Indigenous Women's Month, a 5K walk/run is set for May 11 at 2 p.m. in Fort Totten, according to the Grand Forks Herald.
