"One study found that 1.5 million American Indian and Alaska Native women experience violence in their lifetime."

"These high rates of violence are not just a crisis affecting Indian Country. It is a national disgrace that demands national action."

"They are Native women and girls who went missing or were killed and whose cases received shamefully negligent responses from Federal and state agencies."

"As you are aware, there have been jurisdictional challenges that have impeded the prosecution of cases in the past, allowing crime against Indigenous communities to go unpunished."
