Blythe George Coauthors Yurok Tribe's Missing and Murdered Indigenous People Report

August 8, 2022

Professor Blythe George, a Yurok citizen, published a 120-page foundational document covering numerous scenarios involving missing persons and murder cases, ranging from child runaways to the extemporaneous location of human remains.

Published today, the Yurok Tribal Court’s To ‘See Skuy ‘Soo Ney-Wo-Chek’ (I will see you again in a good way) Project’s third and final report on Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) contains the first ever roadmap to guide tribal, state and federal agencies’ response to new and existing MMIP cases.

“The purpose of the third report was to lay a concrete, comprehensive and culturally relevant foundation from which to confront the ongoing crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People in California. I believe we have achieved this objective,” said Yurok Tribal Court Director Jessica Carter. “I would like to thank the multidisciplinary team of indigenous scholars who created this invaluable resource, which will serve tribal communities for many years to come.”
