2023 MMIP report: US government commits to a "decade of action and healing" with Tribal communities, focusing on data, jurisdiction, public safety, and agency collaboration.
The US government has responded to a 2023 report on the Missing and Murdered Persons Crisis (MMIP), calling for a "decade of action and healing" to address the issue. The response, issued by the Departments of the Interior (DOI) and Justice (DOJ), outlines their commitment to work with Tribal communities and focuses on six concepts: data collection and reporting, jurisdictional structure, public safety resources, and agency collaboration. The DOJ has expanded support to tribes through grants, and the DOI and DOJ will schedule government-to-government consultations and more listening sessions with tribal nations.
