Meet the Native American Activist Fighting the Crisis of Mis

Haley Omeasoo, the founder and executive director of Ohkomi Forensics, was 20 years old when she saw a missing persons flier for her former high school classmate, Ashley Loring Heavyrunner. Seeing the face of someone she knew on a missing persons flier wasn’t a new experience for Omeasoo, a citizen of the Hopi Tribe and a Blackfeet descendant. “It's kind of a normal thing, you see a post on Facebook about so and so being missing or an attempt to locate, and a lot of the time, they do end up showing up,” Omeasoo told Native News Online.
