New federal support and grants would help Native communities find missing persons and solve crimes.
This bill would create new support and tracking for missing or murdered Native Americans. It would set up dedicated staff to help Native communities report cases and offer grants to Tribes and States to improve how they respond to these cases. It also aims to improve how federal agencies track and report their efforts in Native communities.
Currently, there isn't a dedicated federal contact to help Native communities report missing persons cases to national databases, and federal agencies don't consistently report their resources for investigations in Native areas. If this bill passes, the Attorney General would appoint Tribal facilitators to bridge this gap, and federal law enforcement agencies would have to regularly report on their staffing and needs in Native communities. It would also create a grant program, setting aside $1,000,000 each year for five years, to help Tribes and States improve their response to missing or murdered Native Americans.
