On the evening of March 6 2020, 33-year-old Christy Woodenthigh was murdered on the Northern Cheyenne reservation in Lame Deer, Montana.

In the midst of an argument with her partner, Jerard Three Fingers, Christy allegedly grabbed the handle of the car door as Three Fingers drove away. Her hand got caught and she was dragged and run over by the car. Rather than drive her to the hospital, Three Fingers brought Christy to a relative’s house where an ambulance was called.

According to the page, “Justice for Christy Woodenthigh” the reaction by the BIA cops who responded was worse than usual police negligence. Allegedly, the cops on duty, who had a combined 44 years of experience in law enforcement, did not even take a single incident report that night. Despite seeing Christy’s mangled body as well as the blood and damage on the car, they also allegedly did not conduct a single sobriety test on Jerard Three Fingers.

And this, allegedly, was not an isolated instance of violence between Jerard and Christy.

According to Christy’s justice page, her relationship with Jerard was extremely toxic and abusive. A photo of Christy’s severely beaten face is posted as an example of the physical abuse she suffered.

And although Jerard Three Fingers was eventually charged for killing Christy, the charge and eventual sentence do not whatsoever take into account this history of violence and how it informs what happened.

Jerard pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 37 months in prison, 3 years probation, and $1,300 in restitution for the murder of Christy Woodenthigh. Needless to say, this is yet another instance where the justice system failed the life of an indigenous woman. Christy was also failed by the media as there is extremely little coverage of her story.

Christy’s life matters. She was a dedicated mother to 3 young children, and a loving auntie to many nieces and nephews who she treated as her own. She is loved and missed by her family. Christy was passionate about working with kids and taught for several years as an assistant teacher in the Northern Cheyenne Headstart program. She is remembered as a kind hearted person who would open her doors to lend a hand to everyone.

Christy is one of far too many Native American women to have experienced domestic violence. According to Department of Justice statistics, an estimated 84% of Indigenous women have experienced domestic violence in their lifetime. And due to complications reporting and gathering data on domestic violence, the true number is likely even higher. To note for comparison, the rate of white women who experience domestic violence is estimated to be 37%

And Christy is one of far too many Native American women whose abuser or murderer is allowed to walk free.

Jerard Threefingers got away with MURDER! 😡 The jury found him NOT GUILTY for involuntary manslaughter 😭 Thanks to our Northern Cheyenne BIA Law Enforcement who failed to do any reporting on the events that happened March 6, 2020 in Muddy Cluster on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. Between three officers with a combined 44 years of Law Enforcement service! After seeing Christy Woodenthigh bloody, mangled and lifeless in the back floor of Jerard vehicles, NOT ONE OFFICER did a report! Not one officer did a breathalyzer test, not one officer requested a blood sample!
That’s why they say, “If you want to get away with killing/murder go to the Northern Cheyenne Reservation”. 😡

JERARD THREEFINGERS got away with murder, not once but twice on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. Not even 24 hours after the jury’s verdict this “champion murder” is posting on social media how it feels to be “free”. What a disgusting, worthless piece of s**t! We can’t forget to thank the Northern Cheyenne Bureau of Indian Affairs Police force for allowing this murderer to walk free! Their negligence to do their jobs has caused continued heartache and INJUSTICE for the family of Christy Woodenthigh.

Christy was stuck in the rut of an toxic & abusive relationship. Her MURDERER Jerard Threefingers was a habitual domestic violence offender for years leading up to the night of her murder.
