California is often left out of the national conversation
regarding missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and
two-spirit individuals. In response, the Yurok Tribal Court and
Sovereign Bodies Insititute have partnered for a multi-year
collaboration titled To’ kee skuy’ soo ney-wo-chek’ (I will see
you again in a good way). This conversation will feature the
project team for the recent report and will discuss the findings,
implications, and also the next steps for the project. The Year 1
Progress Report is available for free download at sovereign-bodies.org/tokeeskuysooney-wo-chek
