The San Diego County Sheriff's Department issued a Feather Alert for a woman who was reported missing from the Campo Indian Reservation on April 29.
About one week later on Tuesday, Rural Division Detectives with the sheriff's department confirmed the woman was found safe and California Highway Patrol lifted the Feather Alert.
The department thanked the public and the media for their assistance and cooperation.

A Feather Alert is a resource available to statewide law enforcement agencies investigating the "suspicious or unexplainable disappearances of an Indigenous woman or Indigenous person," according to the sheriff's department.
The alert seeks to provide immediate information to the public in order to aid in the swift recovery of missing Indigenous persons.
A 2016 National Institute of Justice study found that four in five tribal women experience violence during their lifetime. Only 9% of murders of Indigenous women are solved in California, according to a report by the Sovereign Bodies Institute.
