Epstein victims deserve spotlight. So do 5,700 Native women and girls reported missing each year

By Matt K. LewisContributing writer
Nov. 28, 2025

"[C]aring about survivors means caring about exploitation, not just the victims of the most high-profile predator.

"The very same forces that failed Epstein’s victims continue to fail thousands of others.

"Here’s one example that probably didn’t come up over pumpkin pie: According to federal and tribal data, about 5,700 Native American girls are reported missing every year. (To put it in perspective, one of Epstein’s victims estimated she was' one story of a thousand,' but most estimates say 'dozens.' Whichever number you pick, the story is tragic.)

"The disappearances of Native American women — many of whom are presumed murdered, raped or trafficked — receive only a modicum of media attention, barely registering in public consciousness.

"Yet the crisis is so widespread that it has its own acronym — #MMIP, 'Missing or Murdered Indigenous Persons.'

"Last November, Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), who heads the House Interior and Environment Subcommittee on Appropriations, wrote an op-ed pointing out that '40 percent of all victims of #SexTrafficking are identified as #AmericanIndian and #AlaskaNative women.' Forty percent. For context: Just 2.9% of people in the U.S. identify as Native.

"Simpson also noted that almost three-quarters of the Native American females who went missing in 2023 were children. Girls."

Tsk tsk... More names in the #EpsteinFiles.

The Epstein Files: #IndianCountry, #FirstNations and the Global Impact

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Updated Feb. 25, 2026

Excerpt: "Will New Mexico's #Epstein Truth Commission Expose the Truth?

"The state of New Mexico has launched the #TruthCommission at Zorro Ranch. The question remains if this will expose the truth about the New Mexico governors involvement, investigate law enforcement and investigate Epstein's involvement with #NuclearScientists and #NuclearSecrets.

"New Mexico Gov. Bruce King sold Epstein the #ZorroRanch, 35 miles southeast of #SantaFe. New Mexico Gov. #BillRichardson was involved with Epstein for years and was at Epstein's properties were the trafficking and abuse occurred: The ranch, at Epstein's Manhattan apartment, and at his island
property. Gov. Richardson is accused of being an abuser.

"Gov. Bruce King's brother #GaryKing, while candidate for governor, along with #DebHaaland, who ran for Lt. Gov, used one of Epstein's planes."

@kimlockhartga That's exactly what happened to one of the original lead cops who was investigating the #HighwayOfTears #MMIWG cases up near #PrinceGeorge. When he pushed for more to be done to solve the #murders - most victims were Indigenous girls/women - he was bullied/harassed/ostracized by almost everyone in #RCMP. He quit - was harassed after leaving too. He became a private investigator & continued to work on the cases to try & bring some justice for the victims.
