15-year-old Navaeh Kingbird vanished from a neighborhood in Bemidji, Minnesota. Two and a half years later, Nevaeh's family and friends are still living the nightmare of not knowing where she is.

After two years of searching for her missing sister, LaKaylee Kingbird is now pursuing a career that helps other Indigenous families.

Just weeks away from the two-year anniversary of Nevaeh Kingbird’s disappearance, dozens of people gathered in Bemidji on Monday to conduct a large-scale search for clues that could lead to answers in the case.

A large-scale search was launched Monday for a missing Indigenous teenager in Northern Minnesota, leveraging more than 60 volunteers and 30 law enforcement officers to search approximately 150 acres in the Bemidji area. 

Searchers gathered for a second day trying to find clues in the cases of missing teens in the Bemidji area that haven’t been seen for years.

Authorities in Bemidji launched a two-day search Monday for Nevaeh Kingbird, who has been missing from the northwestern Minnesota city since October of 2021.

A large-scale search for Nevaeh Kingbird, who was 15 years old when she went missing in Bemidji, is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday.

On track to graduate from Bug-O-Nay-Ge-Shig School, Kingbird’s next step will involve Leech Lake Tribal College in the fall where she plans to pursue law enforcement.

Hundreds of supporters wearing red, raising signs and beating drums came together on Friday to raise awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women with a walk/run and program in Bemidji.

A storm of bright red could be seen traveling along Paul Bunyan Drive on Tuesday as more than 100 supporters gathered for the seventh annual Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women's walk.
