This resolution expresses the Senate's support for designating May 5 as a National Day of Awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. It highlights federal statistics documenting the scope of the crisis — more than 84 percent of American Indian and Alaska Native women have experienced violence in their lifetime, and homicide is among the leading causes of death for Indigenous women under 44. The Senate also calls for a new Department of Justice study to update nationwide data, noting that a decade has passed since the last comprehensive federal study was published.
