Olivia Lone Bear, Native American woman and mother of five, has gone missing in the oil fields of North Dakota. We spoke with her brother, Matthew Lone Bear, who is part of a daily search to look for his sister since she went missing on October 25th in New Town, North Dakota. He is calling for more support from local authorities:
“She was outgoing, and yeah, she liked to hang out at the casinos and bars, and she also really cared for her children. …
We do still need water support. We do need people on the ground, definitely, because the Fort Berthold reservation is… just about a million acres. So that’s a lot of ground to cover. The more people we can get in before the snow falls and before the lake freezes—we want to get as much done as possible before then.”
