Thank you.

I had not been aware of this tragedy, #NoMoreStolenSisters.

This seems to be a commonality with one of the largest minority, #blacks:

"Despite representing 12.85% of the population, black Americans accounted for nearly 226,000 — or 34% — of all missing persons reported in 2012."

...female #NativeAmericans in #NorthAmerica is THIRTY-TWO times higher than the #US average.

(If I made a mistake somewhere, let me know. I should not have written this on a smartphone.)

Note:
I did not include #PacificIslanders and #Hawaiians, a further 0.2% of the #US population, as they did not seem to be included in the 5.712.
It would have been better to use 2022 data for the missing females, too.
Particularly in Canada, people could name more than one...
