This article examines the deaths of Jennifer Kirk and Sue Sue Norton, two Indigenous women who were victims of domestic violence in Alaska. The article raises concerns about the lack of action taken by elected leaders and the flawed investigations into their deaths. It also discusses the leniency shown towards individuals accused of domestic violence and the need for better support and prioritization of cases involving missing and murdered Indigenous people.
