I need to put together a search, Tom

and I don't have the manpower.

- I'll make some calls.

(melancholy instrumental music)

- We have a storyline of a missing Indigenous woman.

- Indigenous women are always at the forefront

of their communities, especially when it comes

to fighting this violence against Native women.

- It's important to me

because it's affected so many lives of people who I know

on the reservation.

It's one of the beauties of what we get to do.

We can hold a mirror up as storytellers to a very real

situation and educate the world about it

while we're entertaining them.

- It's not a lot of media that covers any type

of Native issues, particularly missing women or men.

- You're going to see the exploitation and the oppression

and the violence against the most fragile members

of that society.

- 9-1-1, what's your emergency?

- We have a lot of people that are still missing today

in real life and nothing's ever been done.

And there's a number of reasons.

We don't have the resources and we definitely don't have

the support from the media.

And so it's hard to even begin, or even where to begin.

- We've got a missing person.

We always have a missing person,

but we never had the resources to find them.

- There are a lot of missing people,

mainly today due to the human trafficking, a lot of females.

When you're on your own backyard, you should feel safe.

But unfortunately, a lot of the people are not.

(truck roaring)

- I really think that the legal system is broken

when it comes to protecting Native women

and I think that in some ways it becomes a call for us,

everyone, to step up and take action.

- You can't make it your fault, baby.

- I'm not making it my fault.

I'm making my problem.

- These girls aren't protected the way

that anyone living anywhere else are,

and there's no statistics about how many go missing.

- This is all I could wrangle up.

I wish there were more.

- It all helps.

- It's kind of beautiful That she's trying to help

these girls, you know, that grew up the way that she did.

- It's important for these kinds of stories

to get attention, especially in a mainstream way.

- What I love about that scene

and I wished was real throughout a lot of our communities

was all the people that got involved on both sides,

from both sides.

- Do you know her?

- I know her.

Good kid, but this only happens to good kids.

- In that particular moment,

I saw the people and we were all searching for one person.

And so I...

(melancholy instrumental music)

"Yellowstone" encourages people in a lot of ways,

and so I'm hoping that it will move people

regardless of what nationality to get involved.

- It's a cross in the bridge of the cultures, once again.

It's really heartening to see cultures come together

that way when it comes to events that really touch

our humanity and what kind of people we choose to be

and what kind of people we can be.

- How do I help?

- Our first fight is against being ignored.

- I think for me, what makes Taylor such a great writer

is that he is sharing from his own experiences

and relationships in the Native community.

- Taylor has a way of speaking about very timely,

relevant issues and really bringing humanity to it.

And as artists, it is our responsibility to shed light

on important issues facing our world

and to really talk about them and highlight them.

- The National Indigenous Women's Resource Center,

I wanna raise as much awareness as I can.

You can have a call to arms with information

and you can make a difference in a way that's easier today

than it may have been 50 years ago.

If I can incorporate storylines

that I think the world needs to know

and still make them, you know, visceral, exciting,

or shocking, or thoughtful television,

I wanna do that.
