Sovereign is known for her role on helping with the awareness of the pandemic of our Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) by becoming the founder of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Washington (MMIWW). Sovereign along with Gina Mosbrucker helped initiate the Washington State HB2951 Bill that passed in 2018 and begins the steps to create a comprehensive data base to track our Missing Native People. Mosbrucker and Sovereign initiated bill HB1713 that begins creating a Missing Indigenous People's Taskforce, starting with two Liasons that work with the State Patrol. MMIWW also helped initiate Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) Day in Seattle and Spokane, WA on May 5th. MMIWW led the Seattle Women's MMIW March and Walks in 2018 and 2019. Sovereign along with MMIWW continues to advocate for victims and families while passing State, City, and Tribal initiatives to help address our pandemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People.
