Look up recent stats on missing and murdered indigenous Native American women? 2-3 is fine.

Any gov
sources are preferred, but anything that looks credible in the field works too. I’m going to add it as a
footnote to the following quote in the report:

“In any social, public gathering almost like, I can't be a single native woman at Indian
markets ‘cause I know I will get violated. It's just a fact.” —Espa​ñ​ola, NM

->All of these sources reported that these stats are likely undercounts, as many tribes
do not have access to the databases<-

Missing and Murdered

● At the end of 2017, Native Americans and Alaska Natives made up 1.8 percent of
ongoing missing cases in the FBI’s National Crime Information Center database,
even though they represent 0.8 percent of the U.S. population.1
● Native women accounted for more than 0.7 percent of the missing cases — 633
in all — though they represent about 0.4 percent of the U.S. population.2
● 5,712 cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls were reported
in 2016, only 116 of them were logged in DOJ database3 - more than 95% of the
cases covered by this report were never covered by national or international
media

Other Stats on American Indian/Alaska Native Women

● More than one-quarter of women (26.9%) who identified as American Indian or
as Alaska Native and 1 in 3 women (33.5%) who identified as multiracial
non-Hispanic reported rape victimization in their lifetime (NISVS 2010)
● Approximately 1 in 3 multiracial non-Hispanic women (30.6%) and 1 in 4
American Indian or Alaska Native women (22.7%) reported being stalked during
their lifetimes (NISVS 2010)
● Approximately 4 out of every 10 women of non-Hispanic Black or American
Indian or Alaska Native race/ethnicity (43.7% and 46.0%, respectively), and 1 in
2 multiracial non-Hispanic women (53.8%) have experienced rape, physical
violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime (NISVS 2010)
● American Indians and Alaska Natives are 2.5 times as likely to experience violent
crimes—and at least 2 times more likely to experience rape or sexual assault
crimes—compared to all other races according to the National Congress of
American Indians.4
