In the back of her mind, Sadie Allen always has a fear that she will go missing.
"It's really scary, and something I always have to be aware of," she said. "To be Native means so many things. But unfortunately, this is a big issue we have to deal with."
Allen was just one of many hundreds at the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives rally and march on Tuesday in the East Phillips neighborhood of Minneapolis.
