Last year 5,600 women went missing. The way the law enforcement works for reservations ect, there are too many who fall through the crack.

It was a tongue in cheek comment.
Surely you've heard the term off the reservation.

If there are any "cracks" - it is their own. They either have reservations or they don't.
How is it our responsibility to find their missing people?
This makes no sense to me. Do they want us to investigate them?
