The Justice Department has launched Operation Not Forgotten, deploying 60 FBI personnel to 10 field offices to investigate violent crimes in Indian Country. The effort, the most extensive national FBI surge to date, will focus on cases involving missing and murdered Indigenous people. The FBI will work with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Tribal law enforcement to process forensic evidence and prosecute offenders.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government for everyone who cares about transparency in Native issues. Our work bridges the gap left by tribal-controlled media and non-Native, extractive journalism, providing the insights necessary for truly informed decision-making and a better quality of life. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise.
