Episode 4 of Not Invisible: Native Peoples on the Frontlines is a double feature of two powerful women. First, we hear from Meskee Yatsayte (Potawatomi/Diné) from Navajo Nation Missing and Murdered Relatives. Meskee’s work is about including all missing Native kin, including men and boys, elders, the disabled and the trans/non-binary community. Next we hear from Tabatha Frank (Tla-o-qui-aht Ahousat/Muchalaht) whose striking face paint has become an iconic symbol of the MMIWG2ST movement. Her advocacy work on her own and with Butterflies In Spirit, a dance group that shares the story of those who are missing and murdered, has impacted her own life.
