This war born of love is for Star and her constellation of flickering lights, who shine so brightly when they are able, and darken so coldly when the pain overcomes them... My heart beats for you all.

Like a bombed house fallen in an inferno is a child who has been sexually abused. The foundation of that innocent little life now carries on top of it the scorched remnants of what once was and what will never be again. Parts of that person are melted together. Other parts are blasted out of place. Yet, somehow, from child to adulthood, one must grow through the rubble of her or his own exploded psyche and rebuild the structure of the home like a critically wounded architect without a blueprint. Life is difficult enough to figure out for someone who hasn't been sexually traumatized. How much worse it can be for those who have.

There are a multitude of screams that have gone unanswered. Because I heard one, I now hear them all...

By some estimates, more than 40% of the girls living on North Dakota's reservations are sexually assaulted. That is without inclusion of the large number of boys who are also molested. In addition, these youth are at high risk of being kidnapped and sex trafficked by Mexican cartels and pedophile rings who use a clash of tribal, state, and federal jurisdictions and laws to commit abductions, rapes, and murders with legal immunity. These crimes brutalizing Native American youth and adults are not limited to reservations, however, but are a grotesque daily reality even within the capitol city of Bismarck, "a safe place to raise your family," but also currently home to 589 registered sex offenders according to the ND Sex Offender Registry Office of the Attorney General. The Offender Radar database shows 2,305 registered sex offenders live in North Dakota. Yet, these numbers do not reflect the dismal reality of the high rate of sexual offenses that may be whispered about, but go unprosecuted.

I help Native American women in the Bismarck-Mandan area who are part of the homeless community and do not have support systems. The situation is worse than critical. It is not an exaggeration to write that in each 24-hour period, seven days a week, these young women are being hunted by sex traffickers - and even average male citizens - who attempt to lure them into vans and other vehicles in order to coerce them into sexual acts on the spot or take them elsewhere to be sold. Girls in their late teens/early twenties are felt up by traffickers on foot and threatened to be taken. Grooming tactics are used to trick them into trusting their traffickers as caretakers all the while they are being merchandised. Girls who are deceived or manipulated through drug and alcohol addiction recruit newcomers unfamiliar with the homeless environment. The newcomers are taken to trailers or motel rooms, drugged, and gang raped. Some young women get into vehicles and are never seen again. To reemphasize, this is happening continuously in Bismarck, North Dakota.

I assist all ages of women through homelessness to reestablishment of self in an effort to provide them the support they are lacking, while at the same time, keeping account of their identities and their whereabouts in a hunting grounds in which they are treated as prey and property rather than the incredible, brave, resilient and valuable human beings that they truly are. I help them with rides to/from job interviews, court hearings, food pantry openings, housing and treatment organizations, social security/dmv offices, and more. I help them purchase cell phones, shoes, clothing, food, and other essentials necessary to survive, obtain employment, and get back on their feet. Those in the detention center, I help with commissary and telephone funds, book acquisition, and resolving of issues as needed. I also try to encourage these women to view themselves in the truth of who their Creator made them to be and not for how they have been treated by the depraved individuals and corrupt systems of this world.

I am actively working on finding solutions to help protect Native American girls who at any moment could fall into the hands of predators who violate their bodies and break their souls. One urgent necessity is an emergency shelter that can house women and youth - especially those at highest risk for being trafficked and exploited - immediately, day and night. In Bismarck, there is nowhere near the available housing necessary to support the number of women and children in danger. Even for a young lady who, in her few months of being homeless, was severely wounded in one attack and threatened by a trafficker in another, the best that could be provided for her was to be put on a housing waitlist with a timeline extending into limbo. Meanwhile, she has to fend for herself on the streets where safety is nearly an impossibility. Anyone touched by sexual violence understands that even one rape shatters a life, and it takes an entire lifetime to put together those broken pieces, some of which never align again.

THIS FUNDRAISER IS MULTI-FOLD

I am in need of immediate funding to continue to help provide the girls with resources as needed. Prior to this fundraiser, I had been working entirely from my own pocket and the majority of my efforts continue to require significant use of my savings.

STAR WARRIORS CINEMATIC MEDIA PLATFORM

With my background in film, music, and photography, I have created STAR WARRIORS ANANG OGICHIDAAG the restorative movement of a war born of love. It is a multimedia battle platform and sanctuary for transformative storytelling.

Financial sponsorship is sought after in the logistics of creating cinematic media content to help spread awareness and turn the tide on the disappearances and murders of Native American women, children, and men due to general society's sexual degeneration and a plethora of other issues. Funding in this area will be used for equipment, gas, and lodging expenses incurred while traveling on and off reservations in capturing the real-life stories of those impacted by this crisis.

BORN OF LOVE ANANG OGICHIDAAG PODCAST is STAR WARRIORS' initial effort in giving survivors of sexual abuse, and all forms of abuse and violence, especially within Native American communities, a space to regularly exercise their voices and, through their own words, tell their stories of pain, survival, and healing. The podcast can be heard on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music/Audible, Podbean, iHeart Radio, and more. Information and news in the battle against sex violence, trafficking, and exploitation will be provided in upcoming ANANG OGICHIDAAG releases.

Additional funding will be put towards creating an emergency shelter, something for which I am in search of partners to help organize and find financing.

Long term, my desire is to build a self-funded organization that develops sustainable revenue streams to use in the battle against the sexual abuse and exploitation of Native American women and children while providing avenues of healing for these beautiful people to be restored to the glory that for centuries has been stripped, beaten, raped and murdered into the darkness of substance abuse, addiction, and suicide. That glory is flickering deep inside their precious spirits, waiting to be redeemed with love.

North Dakota is a hotbed of child sexual abuse, rape, and human trafficking. Bismarck, Fargo, Minot, Dickinson, Williston, and the other towns in which we live are not as safe as the public has been led to believe. According to the North Dakota Domestic and Sexual Violence Coalition, over 1,363 victims of sexual assault were served by 17 advocacy centers in the Peace Garden State in 2024. 1,101 of the victims were female, 226 of which were under the age of 18 at the time of the assault. 782 of the assailants were male. Again, these are only statistics for those victims served by an advocacy center. Sexual violence/abuse is a crime in which justice has been highly elusive. Many cases are unreported or swept under the rug. The most raped population of women and children in America are Native American. Surviving abuse is the daily battle of a lifetime. Everyone who becomes close to a survivor is affected, and sometimes, even they too are bombed to pieces by the survivor's trauma.

As of this writing, the North Dakota Missing Persons Office of Attorney General lists 20 people as having gone missing in 2025, a number which doubled the previous year's recorded total. 11 of these missing persons are children between the ages of 9 and 17. 3 more are between the ages of 18 and 23. Over 50% of those missing are Native American. The Bureau of Indian Affairs approximates that more than 4,000 Native American missing persons and homicide cases have gone unresolved nationwide.

/ STAR WARRIORS \ ANANG OGICHIDAAG / and all the groundwork described is part of a much larger restorative healing movement headed by the Savior of ✝he world Himself and it is time we join together to help lift up those who have been suffering for centuries.
