介绍： WILLIAM BRANGHAM: Earlier this month, our Brief But Spectacular team highlighted the need to raise awareness of sexual assault cases on the Navajo Nation. Tonight, Meskee Yanabah Yatsayte tells us about another silent epidemic in the Navajo community. She leads an organization that aims to provide a voice for those who don't have one.
MESKEE YANABAH YATSAYTE, Navajo Nation Missing Persons: Once a person goes missing, I always tell the families, be aware that you become the advocate. You also become the investigator. Nobody knows what is going on, on our reservation, not just the Navajo Reservation, but nationwide. These cases are not taken seriously. They don't hit headline news. We ask, where are these cases going? And we are told that they are being looked at. But are they? When I first started this, I realized that our people didn't have a place to go to report our missing people. I decided to create a booklet. This includes all of our updated missing persons from back from 1956.

威廉·布兰汉姆：本月初，我们《简短而精彩》团队想要突出的重点是：我们需要提高纳瓦霍人对性侵犯的意识。今晚的主人公麦思吉将向我们讲述纳瓦霍人另一种无声无息影响人们生活的问题。麦思吉是一家组织的领导人。该组织的目标是为无法发声的人们发声。

麦思吉，纳瓦霍失踪人口：每次有人失踪了，我就会告诉他们的亲人，你一定多奔走呼号。你也要成为调查者。没有人知道现在是什么了，没有人知道我们这里正在上演什么。“这里”不只指纳瓦霍保留地，还只我们整个国家。这些失踪案件并未引起人们的足够重视，没有登上头条。我们不禁发问，这些案件最终将带我们去向何处。有人告诉我们，这些案子已经得到关注了。那是得到谁的关注了呢？起初，我创办这家组织的时候，我就意识到，我们的族人根本无处去报告家人走失的事情。我决定创建一个册子，册子里自1956年以来更新的所有失踪人口。
