Short Abstract:
The U.S. Attorney General announced the Department’s Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP) Initiative. They stated that, “American Indian and Alaska Native people suffer from unacceptable and disproportionately high levels of violence, which can have lasting impacts on families and communities.” Therefore, there has been an initiative to not only raise awareness, but also take heed to tribal issues and concerns. As the journal states, "The best solutions to tribal issues come from tribes, and it is our responsibility to listen." It is their hope that the articles serve as a basis for continuing the conversation and advancing this work forward.
