Tribal lawmakers push for bill to create task force for missing Indigenous people
North Dakota tribal lawmakers are advocating for legislation to form a task force dedicated to addressing missing Indigenous people. The proposed task force would work with local law enforcement and tribal communities to improve investigations, share resources, and offer support to families. Supporters hope the bill will improve efforts to locate missing Indigenous individuals and provide stronger community engagement.
