The Biden-Harris administration’s U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), recently reaffirmed its commitment to harnessing resources to confront the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) by releasing an updated action plan. This updated action plan reinforces and enhances ACF’s ongoing efforts to prevent violence to Native people and communities by promoting healing from historical trauma and present-day victimization.

The ACF MMIIP Action Plan, entitled The Culture is Prevention: A Strength Based, Culturally Grounded Journey Toward Prevention, Intervention, And Healing, advances the whole of government commitment to addressing the MMIP crisis through a multipronged approach that includes preventing violence and promoting healing from historical trauma. Most importantly, it adopts responsive administrative processes such as self-governance and Indigenous knowledge, as well ways to leverage ACF’s grant funding, community engagement and rulemaking authority.
