Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons
Get Involved
Alaska Native people continue to be impacted with the highest rate of violence than any other race in America and the issues of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons continues to be a priority for TCC and its Tribes.
Indigenous persons experience disproportionately high rates of violence, and, relatedly, are reported missing or are murdered at high rates. Alaska Natives experience disproportionate rates of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other violent crimes, according to the Indian Law and Order Commission’s 2013 report.
