ND HCR3056

Directs the Legislative Management to study issues and data reporting challenges related to missing and murdered indigenous people and human trafficking cases in North Dakota

Notes approximately 39,000 indigenous people live in the state and are victimized by human trafficking at higher rates than the general population

Identifies that indigenous people experience violent crime at more than twice the rate of other races, with indigenous women murdered at more than 10 times the national average on some reservations

Cites jurisdictional challenges, lack of resources, and poor communication among federal, state, and tribal officials as obstacles to tracking, investigating, and prosecuting cases involving missing indigenous people

Requires the Legislative Management to report findings, recommendations, and any necessary legislation to the Sixty-seventh Legislative Assembly
