Ep 046 | Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind

​Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind, a 22-year-old member of the Spirit Lake Sioux Tribe, was tragically murdered in August 2017 in Fargo, North Dakota. Eight months pregnant at the time, she was lured to her neighbor's apartment under the pretense of assisting with a sewing project. There, she was attacked, and her unborn child was forcibly removed. Her body was discovered days later in the Red River, while her baby was found alive and has since been raised by her family. This heinous crime brought national attention to the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, leading to the passage of Savanna's Act in 2020, aimed at improving law enforcement protocols and data collection for such cases. ​
