    UNKNOWN: Loverine Walking Bull and Lena Mozelle Scott

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of We Are Resilient, we share the stories of Loverine Walking Bull and Lena Mozelle Scott — two Indigenous women whose lives were tragically cut short in cases connected to hit-and-run incidents that still leave families searching for answers and accountability. As Indigenous communities continue to experience disproportionate rates of unsolved deaths and violence, cases involving pedestrian fatalities and suspected hit-and-runs are too often overlooked, underinvestigated, or quickly forgotten.  Sources: https://www.hickeyfuneralchapel.com/obituary/loverine-walking-bull https://www.facebook.com/mmiwusa/posts/too-many-of-our-native-women-and-girls-have-been-killed-in-hit-and-runs-and-gone/4493224297455077/ https://oklahomacoldcases.org/lena-scott/ Support the show

    Wear the Red Handprint: A Call to Remember

    Send us Fan Mail This special PSA from We Are Resilient is a call to action for May 5th, National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people. Tomorrow, we’re asking you to take part in the Wear the Red Handprint Challenge. The red handprint has become a powerful symbol representing the silenced voices of our people and the lives that should still be here. Across Indigenous communities, it stands as a reminder that too many cases go unheard, unseen, and unresolved. In this short message, we invite you to stand with us. Wear a red handprint across your face, your clothing, or however you choose to show support. Share it. Talk about it. Be visible. Awareness matters. Visibility matters. Our people matter. Join us in honoring those we’ve lost and in fighting for those still missing. Support the show

    Ella Mae Begay Update: Justice on the Line

    Send us Fan Mail In this mini episode, Sheyahshe provides an update on the case of Ella Mae Begay, a Navajo elder who disappeared from her home in Sweetwater, Arizona in June 2021. After a federal judge ruled a key confession inadmissible in 2024, prosecutors moved forward with a plea agreement that would have allowed Preston Henry Tolth to plead guilty to a single robbery charge, potentially avoiding additional prison time and any future prosecution for murder or manslaughter. Earlier this month, a U.S. District Court judge rejected that agreement following testimony from Begay’s family, who continue to seek accountability and the return of their loved one.
