A 3-year-old girl’s unsolved disappearance is highlighting the lack of resources available to Indigenous communities, where women and girls often go missing or are killed and never get any justice.
Arden Pepion went missing from a remote area on Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Montana in late April and still hasn’t been found. The man babysitting Arden at the time claimed she disappeared while he was practicing shooting his gun near a river. He has been charged with negligent endangerment and child neglect. He has pleaded not guilty and is out on bond.
