LAW ENFORCEMENT AND JUSTICE PROTOCOLS APPROPRIATE TO AD-
DRESS MISSING AND MURDERED INDIANS, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES
DECEMBER 4, 2018.-Ordered to be printed
Mr. HOEVEN, from the Committee on Indian Affairs,
submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany S. 1942]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Indian Affairs, to which was referred the bill
(S. 1942) to direct the Attorney General to review, revise, and de-
velop law enforcement and justice protocols appropriate to address
missing and murdered Indians, and for other purposes, having con-
sidered the same, reports favorably thereon, with an amendment in
the nature of a substitute and recommends that the bill, as amend-
ed, do pass.
PURPOSE
This bill is intended to improve law enforcement response to ad-
dress missing and murdered American Indians and Alaska Natives
by (1) improving tribal access to federal criminal databases, (2) im-
proving data collection on cases of missing and murdered American
Indians and Alaska Natives for reports to Congress, and (3) direct-
ing the Attorney General to review, revise, and develop law en-
forcement and justice guidelines with local level input.
BACKGROUND
The bill, S. 1942, is named for Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind
from North Dakota. On August 19, 2017, Savanna, a pregnant 22-
year-old member of the Spirit Lake Tribe, disappeared from her
home near Fargo, North Dakota. Eight days later, Savanna's body
was found wrapped in plastic in the Red River. While Savanna's
tragic death became widespread news, many other Native women
and men go missing or are murdered each year, very few of those
cases are resolved.
