Paul Cook: “The Tunisians have been doing a terrific job. They are building democratic institutions. They are defeating ISIS.”

I am looking forward to hearing what they are doing to combat the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.

It is important that we all work together to address these horrific crimes and find a way to end this unprecedented violence against Native women.

Four out of five Native women are affected by violence, with the U.S. Department of Justice finding that American Indian women face murder rates that are more than 10 times the national average.

I encourage my colleagues that we do not shift away from the primary focus, which is the education of children.
