  We ARE correcting the issue. For years, Native women have gone missing and nobody gave a shit. 
  That was one of the main criticisms I heard online about the Gabbi Petito case - like yeah, we should be solving missing person cases, but where was this level of attention and outrage over the thousands of black and indigenous women who have gone missing in the US and Canada over the past few decades?
context: Can't we just issue a missing person alert? Makes no sense slicing and dicing into races/issues/other things that don't matter when A PERSON IS MISSING. Isn't that what's important? >
  
  If you read the article, it says...
  
  "The Senate Bill, signed into law by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis on July 1, 2022, acknowledged the unique challenges that stem from these cases, which includes poor and inconsistent reporting, lack of interagency cooperation, and misclassification of racial identity. Part of the bill required the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to operate a missing Indigenous person alert program."
  
  Oh, and the related headlines below the article demonstrate why this is extremely necessary...

  The fact that they are failing to put forth every effort to find each missing person, regardless of demographic should be the story, here.
  Instead we're supposed to feel good because they're correcting the issue, but only for indigenous people.
