U.S. Department of Interior Secretary Debra Haaland created a new unit to seek justice for missing and murdered Indigenous people.

The initiative includes the influx of $5 million to review unsolved cases and coordinate work among other agencies and organizations. Oklahoma just instituted a law that requires coordination among state and federal officials on cases involving missing and murdered Native people.
