Ida's Law, Which Addresses Missing And Murdered Indigenous People, Heads To Oklahoma Governor's Desk

/
Indigenous women march to raise awareness about missing and murdered Indigenous Women at the 2019 Women's March in San Francisco, Calif.
A bill that would allocate resources, collect better data and be a resource for Indigenous families when their loved ones go missing is headed to Gov. Kevin Stitt's desk for a signature.
Senate Bill 172 is also known as Ida's Law, named after 29-year-old Cheyenne-Arapaho woman Ida Beard, who went missing in 2015.
Too often, when an Indigenous person ends up missing or is found murdered, family members have a hard time getting answers from the maze of law enforcement agencies because of jurisdictional complexity. This law aims to solve that by creating the Office of Liaison for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons.
