Fake Rehabs Are Stealing our Loved Ones!
Hello My HOMkins, I have come across a disturbing trend that needs to be brought to light. The sight of white vans is enough to send shivers down the spines on their intentions. These fake rehab homes are taking advantage of our Native American community, preying on those struggling with addiction and mental health issues. They lure them in with false promises of healing and high-quality treatment, only to rip them away from their tribe and loved ones. The result? Missing and murdered indigenous individuals.


I recently had the honor of speaking with Reva Stewart from Stolen People Stolen Benefits and Turtle Island Women Warriors, two organizations working tirelessly to bring justice to our community. Reva's dedication to this cause has earned her a nomination for the prestigious USA TODAY Women of the Year program. This program recognizes the outstanding contributions made by women to their communities and our country as a whole. It began in 2022 as a continuation of the Women of the Century initiative, which commemorated the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage.


It's time to shed light on this heartbreaking issue and honor the brave women like Reva who are fighting for justice. Let's come together as a community and support Reva and other women making a difference in the lives of Native Americans. Together, we can bring an end to this exploitative trend and ensure a better future for our people.
