Lack Of Data Tracking Contributes To Crimes Against Indigenous Women Going Unsolved

ONEIDA, WI- (Wisconsin Radio Network)- Nobody has been collecting data on the missing and murdered indigenous women in Wisconsin.  That, says Oneida National Councilwoman Jennifer Webster, is why the crimes against those victims go unsolved.  Webster says it has been a problem for years.  She sits on a task force created by Attorney General Josh Kaul.  The task force has existed for more than a year and has conducted several meetings.  Despite that, there is no timetable for recommendations to be issued.  The federal government calls this a crisis.  Two laws have been passed but the Government Accountability Office says the U-S Department of Justice and the Department of Interior have failed to implement them.
