Gov Docs: Native American History and Culture: MMIP

U.S. Dept. of the Interior, Indian Affairs
--Everyone deserves to feel safe in their communities. The Missing and Murdered Unit within the Office of Justice Services focuses on analyzing and solving missing and murdered cases involving American Indians and Alaska Natives.

U.S.HHS, Adm. for Native Americans
--The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is committed to harnessing its resources to confront the crisis of Missing or Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP), which has disproportionately harmed Native communities.

U.S. Dept. of the Interior, Indian Affairs
--Native American and Alaska Native communities have struggled with high rates of assault, abduction, and murder of tribal members. Community advocates describe the crisis as a legacy of generations of government policies of forced removal, land seizures and violence inflicted on Native peoples.

U.S. Dept. of Justice, Tribal Justice and Safety
--The Department of Justice has prioritized working to address the causes of violence against Native American individuals and communities and to bring justice to victims and their families.

U.S. Dept. of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC)
--Through the Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside (TVSSA) formula grant program, OVC administers funds to enhance services for victims of crime in Tribal communities. View a fact sheet to learn how Tribes can use their TVSSA funds to help missing or murdered Indigenous persons.

--Under Executive Order 13898, the Task Force was directed to conduct consultations; develop model protocols to apply to new and unsolved cases of missing or murdered persons in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities, including best practices for law enforcement response, data sharing, and better use of databases; establish multi-disciplinary and multi-jurisdictional teams to review cold cases that involve missing and murdered AI/AN; and develop both an education/outreach campaign and a public awareness campaign. However, the Task Force itself did not have the authority to review or investigate ongoing cases or cold cases, nor to provide direct or indirect support to victims or families at any stage of the criminal investigation or proceedings.

U.S. Congress.
---This committee has the duty "to conduct a study of any and all matters pertaining to problems and opportunities of Indians, including but not limited to, Indian land management and trust responsibilities, Indian education, health, special services, and loan programs, and Indian claims against the United States"
