<\/p>\r\nThe Coalition of Large Tribes<\/a> (COLT) is hosting a training session to address the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people (MMIP.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nThe session will take place October 23-25 in Billings, Montana. The organization said tribal representatives from seven states are set to attend.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n“As of now and throughout history Tribal Law Enforcement has been short funded,” COLT said in a news release<\/a> on Monday, citing inadequate funding for the Bureau of Indian Affairs<\/a>.\r\n

<\/P>\r\n“So we know that to do more with less, we need to provide advance training for Tribal\r\nLaw Enforcement to deter these atrocities happening to our people,” the organization said.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nAccording to COLT, the Missing and Murdered Unit (MMU) at the BIA<\/a> will be among those providing training at the session next week. The MMU was established to investigate cases of missing and murdered people on tribal lands.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nExperts from the Vidocq Society<\/a>, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children<\/a> and the United States Indian Police Academy<\/a> are also slated to provide training, COLT said in the news release.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nCOLT represents more than a dozen tribes with large land bases<\/a>, meaning those with holdings exceeding 100,000 acres. Of the approximately 40 cases currently listed on the MMU site<\/a>, 25 people come from states where the organization’s members are based.
