In the summer of 2017, 22-year-old Savannah LaFontaine-Greywind disappeared. A week after her disappearance, police arrested the white couple who lived upstairs in Savannah's home and had left their apartment carrying an infant. The baby was Savannah, but her body wasn't found until days later.

This horrific crime sent shockwaves far beyond Fargo, North Dakota, where it occurred, and helped expose the sexual and physical violence Native American women and girls have endured since the country's colonization.

With compassion and empathy, "Searching for Savannah" confronts this history of dehumanization of Native women and government complicity in the crisis. Featuring in-depth interviews, personal accounts, and trial analyses, the book explores these injustices and the decades-long struggle of Native American rights advocates for meaningful change.
