Murder in Big Horn

I thought this documentary is very well done. It managed to provide cultural and historical information in a way that showed the lived experience of the indigenous people in general and specifically in that area. It also illuminated the relationship between the police and indigenous people historically and currently. Without that context, the documentary wouldn't have made as much sense.

The cops sure have a lot to answer for. The amount of people missing or murdered in the area is astounding. Though the police and medical examiner want to list all deaths as unknown or hypothermia. So many people dying of "hypothermia" in that area should be a health crisis for the state. But they are indigenous so government and police don't care. They do not interact with the families and do little to no investigation. They don't care about press pressure or community pressure. They are unbothered by the amount of death surrounding them.
