    MURDERED: Ashlea Aldrich (Mini Episode)

    In this mini-episode, released in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Sheyahshe revisits the story of Ashlea Aldrich, a 29-year-old Indigenous mother from the Omaha Reservation whose death remains unsolved nearly five years later. On January 7th, 2020, Ashlea was found dead in a field near her home. Her family believes she was the victim of years of domestic violence and that their repeated pleas for help were ignored by the very systems meant to protect her. Ashlea’s story is not an isolated tragedy. It’s a reflection of a crisis, one where violence against Indigenous women is too often dismissed, and justice comes too late, if at all.
