Has your agency done any work to address the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women crisis in urban locations with high populations of Native Americans?

Thank you. When you say that it is being rolled out to more tribes as we move forward, what is the application process like for tribes to participate in TAP each year?

On some Native lands, Indian women are murdered at more than 10 times the national average.

The Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women issue has been one of my top priorities this Congress.

The Bridging Agency Data Gaps & Ensuring Safety Act addresses the gaps in national MMIW data by requiring BIA direct-service officers and FBI agents with jurisdiction in Indian Country to report missing persons cases to the NamUs database.

The Violence Against Women Act was passed in the House in April of this year, and it has yet to see the light of day on the Senate side.

Statistics show that 8 in 10 Indigenous women will be raped, stalked, or abused in the course of their lifetimes.

Has BIA considered proposing and/or supporting the establishment of a single database for MMIW cases?

It is imperative that we continue to work in partnership and create safe communities and arrest the trend of issues plaguing our Native communities.

Will the information or notes collected from this listening session be made public?

I think it is interesting that that is the first thing they did to really hone their skills as a bureau.

I attended the Senate's oversight hearing on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. That was back in December.

The manufacturing sector is the lifeblood of the American economy--responsible for nearly 13 million American jobs.

Given the magnitude of the industrial decarbonization challenge, I'd like to ask you, Mr. Shah, on how we can begin to address such a problem.

More funding is needed.

There must be a financial imperative for industry to decarbonize.

It is time for the Federal Government to start taking its commitments and obligations to tribal nations seriously.

Acting Director Pendley, the BLM has an obligation under The Federal Land Policy and Management Act FLPMA to 'give priority to the designation and protection of areas of critical environmental concern.'
