It was through tears and anger, that this song was written.
This is a testament in song for victims of MMIW ("Missing Murdered Indigenous Women")

These are:
women who have been silenced against their will ...
women who have had their lives taken from them ...
women who leave behind grieving families ...
women who did nothing wrong ...
women who screamed and were not heard ...
women whose greatest downfall was trust ...

It is in memory of Darlene Billie of St. Ignatius , Montana, that this song was inspired and written.

It this songwriter's hope to use music as a way to bring recognition and awareness to the disappearance and murders of Native women and girls. May this song be their voice.

If you see something, say something.

Native women are statistically more vulnerable to becoming victims of violence in their lifetime and face a murder rate 10 times higher than the national average, with 84 percent experiencing some form of violence in their lifetime.

"Savanna's Act" was passed by President Trump in an Executive Order {Nov. 2020} and is positioned to help address this epidemic of violence against Native women.
The Act is named in honor of Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind, a member of the Spirit Lake Tribe who vanished from her apartment in Fargo, North Dakota while 8 months pregnant.
Eight days after she disappeared, her body was found wrapped in plastic in the Red River, her baby cut from her womb. Our hearts break for these victims and their families.
