As a state with many tribal nations and Indigenous citizens, Michigan has a responsibility to confront this crisis directly and demonstrate real commitment to safety and justice. That's why Since taking office, I've been working closely with our tribal governments to strengthen investigations, improve communication across jurisdictions, collect data and help prevent further violence against Indigenous people. As a part of the work, the Attorney General has dedicated anonymous tip line to support victims and families. If you have information about a case involving a missing or murdered Indigenous relative, please call 517-284-0008. (00:21–00:36)
