The analysis from the state’s Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Task Force also found 105 Native individuals were filed as missing in Wyoming last year, with six of those cases remaining unresolved.

One of this year’s featured guests is Jhane Myers (Comanche/Blackfeet), who was the lead creative producer for the 2022 movie “Prey,” a prequel in the popular sci-fi “Predator” franchise.
