"I’m sharing my experiences and some of the things I’ve gone through working on some of the cases I’ve worked through,” Yellow Bird-Chase said.

"There’s currently someone missing from my local area who’s been missing since 2013. It’s been a big interest of mine being able to reach out to the family and support them as best as possible,” Taysha Martineau, a Gitchigami Scouts member, said.

Gitchigami Scouts were inspired by the Sahnish Scouts to start a search group in the area.

The training brought a variety of groups together like Native Lives Matter(NLM), Program for Aid to Victims of Sexual Assault(PAVSA),Feminist Action Collective, Anti-Colonial Land Defense, Mothers Against Meth Alliance, Sahnish Scouts of North Dakota, Anonymous Twin Ports, and Native Lives Matter/Red for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives.

"I’ve actually rescued two girls out of a sex trafficking ring in California and I found two of our murdered relatives that did make it,” Julie Ricjards, the founder of Mothers Against Meth Alliance(MAMA), said.

Julie is known as Mama Julz to the community and does her own community patrolling in South Dakota.

"Part of fighting meth is dealing with the effects of it and sex trafficking is one of them and missing and murdered indigenous women and relatives is another one,” Ricjards said.

Community members at the training learned from individuals who bravely took on the issue head on and now plan on doing the same as them.

"When a community is affected like this, we need large numbers of people who are willing to come out and support the family and support the community and just really get involved,” Martineau said.

"It doesn't take money to be out here, it just takes love for your people to do this work,” Ricjards said.

The next training will be hosted Feb. 13
