Native America Calling: The lack of reservation law enforcement
Monday, July 31, 2023
The Fort Belknap Indian Community is the latest tribe to sue the federal government over inadequate law enforcement.
A joint legislative resolution passed this year noted “justice has eluded many Native American victims, survivors, and families” as there are not enough officers to cover the more than 1,000 square miles within the reservation boundaries.
Fort Belknap is one of at least three tribes that are taking on what they say is the lack of full federal funding to keep their citizens safe.
