Artifact Overview
In 2019, eighteen-year-old Kaysera Stops Pretty Places, from the Crow and Northern Cheyenne Reservations, went missing and was later found murdered in Hardin, Montana. Her story is part of the epidemic of violence against Indigenous women, where four in five will experience violence in their lifetime, and murder is the third leading cause of death. This sculpture brings greater awareness to these issues.
