For generations, Indigenous communities have been calling attention to a widespread form of victimization known as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples (MMIP). In response to grassroots efforts across rural communities, there has been a marked increase in legislation at the federal and state levels to address MMIP from 2018 to the present. Federal legislation has provided the most comprehensive and coordinated model of response to MMIP. This study analyzes how the scope and themes of federal legislation addressing MMIP are mirrored in the bills recently enacted by 14 states addressing MMIP. One goal of this study is to identify strengths and limitations within state legislation and provide insight into critical areas of focus for improving state legislative responses to MMIP. Next, we analyze reports from federal MMIP legislation and the 10 states (among the 14 with legislation) that have currently published MMIP reports to date. Our analysis of MMIP reports expands knowledge on (1) how data were collected and interpreted across jurisdictions, and (2) whether states experience MMIP in similar or different ways. Drawing on our comparative analysis of legislation and reports across jurisdictions, we offer data‐driven recommendations for states to consider when addressing MMIP.

对美国失踪和被谋杀原住民全州报告的系统分析：我们所知道的以及下一步该何去何从☆

世世代代以来，原住民社区一直呼吁人们关注一种广泛存在的受害形式，即原住民失踪和被谋杀 (MMIP)。为了响应农村社区的基层努力，从 2018 年至今，联邦和州层面针对 MMIP 的立法显着增加。联邦立法提供了最全面、最协调的 MMIP 响应模式。本研究分析了 14 个州最近颁布的针对 MMIP 的法案如何反映针对 MMIP 的联邦立法的范围和主题。本研究的目标之一是确定州立法的优势和局限性，并深入了解改善州立法对 MMIP 响应的关键重点领域。接下来，我们分析联邦 MMIP 立法和目前已发布 MMIP 报告的 10 个州（其中 14 个州有立法）的报告。我们对 MMIP 报告的分析扩展了以下方面的知识：(1) 如何跨司法管辖区收集和解释数据，以及 (2) 各州是否以相似或不同的方式经历 MMIP。根据我们对不同司法管辖区的立法和报告的比较分析，我们提供数据驱动的建议，供各州在处理 MMIP 时考虑。
