Oklahoman Gov. Kevin Stitt signed bipartisan legislation for the state to seek federal funding to address the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous Oklahomans.  The legislation has been praised by tribal members across the state as a concrete step to tackle an epidemic of violence against Native Americans.  Far too often, when a Native person goes missing or is found murdered, their families have to navigate a complex checkerboard of jurisdiction, Stitt said.  That confusion makes it so difficult on victims’ families during what’s already a traumatic time. Senate Bill 172 from Sen. Paul Rosino, R-Oklahoma City, and Rep. Collin Walke, D-Oklahoma City, directs the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation to work with the U.S. Department of Justice to secure federal funding to create a local Office of Liaison for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons.
