The Epidemic of Invisibility: The Case of Olivia Lone Bear

Description: On October 24, 2017, Olivia Lone Bear—a 32-year-old mother of five—vanished from the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota. For nine grueling months, her family navigated a "jurisdictional maze" between tribal, state, and federal agencies, conducting their own searches across the oil-rich landscape of the Bakken. When her truck was finally pulled from Lake Sakakawea, the discovery didn't bring peace—it brought a terrifying new set of questions.
