Missing From Fire Trail Road

Indigenous women are more likely to go missing or get murdered than any other group in the United States. Learn the story of Mary Ellen Johnson-Davis of Washington’s Tulalip Tribal Indian Reservation, whose 2000 disappearance is but one of many examples of a country that promised to protect its own…and failed miserably.Mary Ellen Johnson-Davis disappeared over two years ago from the Tulalip Reservation near Seattle. Because the investigation is at standstill, her sisters and other tribal members set off to discover what happened to her. Their quest uncovers a harsh reality: Indigenous women are murdered at an alarming rate. Complex tribal jurisdictional issues have turned reservations into lawless zones and hunting grounds for predators. Most crimes go unsolved and are committed by non-natives. But this crisis has historical roots and emanates from the genocide created by institutional policies to eradicate an entire culture. This film sheds light on the weight of generational trauma and discrimination that Indigenous women continue to face.Content Warning: This film contains material that may be difficult for some viewers.
