After reviewing the formation and mission of the Presidential Task Force on Missing and Murdered American Indians and Alaska Natives, also known as Operation Lady Justice (OLJ), this report provides a reference chart for OLJ efforts to address this crisis in consultation with each participating tribe and state, along with their website addresses on this effort.

Abstract

OLJ is coordinating its resources with the tribes and states that are already committed to addressing issues related to missing and murdered American Indians and Alaska Natives. OLJ is facilitating the sharing of information among the federal, tribal, and state task forces and their efforts to address this critical concern. The sharing of information on what is being done by task forces committed to this issue enables the expansion of effective efforts and the avoidance of ineffective resource investments. OLJ’s website includes a clearinghouse on tribal and state task force efforts to address the crisis of missing and murdered American Indians and Alaska Natives. The current report presents a chart that describes the task force/study/effort in addressing this crisis for each involved tribe and state, along with the website on this issue for each.
