Monty Mills:在印第安保留地,执法管辖权非常复杂,涉及部落、联邦和州/地方政府,这导致了责任不明确的问题。美国原住民女性在失踪和遇害事件中面临着独特的挑战,部分原因是保留地被认为是“无法无天”之地,执法存在差距。1978年最高法院的Oliphant案裁定,部落没有权力逮捕、起诉和惩罚在保留地犯下罪行的非印第安人,这限制了部落的执法能力。解决失踪和遇害土著妇女案件需要时间、奉献精神和建立信任,这需要外部调查人员以真诚和支持的态度参与。

Pain Linz: The podcast is pausing traditional investigative episodes due to the widespread epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women. The investigation is making progress, and the public's help in spreading Ashly's story is needed.
Monty Mills: Law enforcement jurisdiction on Indian reservations is complex, involving tribal, federal, and state/local governments, leading to unclear responsibilities. Indigenous women face unique challenges in missing and murdered cases, partly because reservations are seen as lawless with enforcement gaps. The 1978 Supreme Court Oliphant case limited tribal law enforcement power. Solving these cases requires time, dedication, and trust-building, requiring outside investigators to engage sincerely and supportively.
Frank Kip: Runs a boxing club providing self-defense training for women and children on the reservation, sharing stories of helping kids cope with domestic violence and suicidal thoughts. Alcohol and drugs are identified as major problems for young people.
Rocky White: A social justice advocate who shares her work in finding her missing cousin and her views on the MMIW issue. She highlights the importance of public visibility and action, and the challenges of overcoming distrust and lack of resources in solving these cases.
Monty Mills, a professor and co-director of the Indian Law Clinic, explains the intricate jurisdictional issues in Indian country, involving tribal, federal, and state law enforcement agencies.
Tribal police take over law enforcement functions from the federal government.
Federal authorities focus on major crimes like guns, drugs, racketeering, mobsters, and terrorism.
State and local law enforcement also play roles, but their responsibilities depend on the individuals involved and the location of the crime.
