Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people.

But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no.

By @kylehopkinsak.bsky.social, w/ @adn.com

Alaska Vowed to Resolve Murders of Indigenous People. Now It Refuses to Provide Their Names.

When the nonprofit Data for Indigenous Justice filed public records requests with the Alaska Department of Public Safety concerning cases it had investigated, the state rejected them.

25 yrs ago, I had this idea about writing movie reviews. 20 or so yrs ago, I lost all those reviews. thanks to @clockpunkstudios.com, they're back! don't even know how many there are. but: more than a few (also, never figured out why posts on my site never have thumbnails. but: another day).

Stolen Relations @stolenrelations.bsky.social · 19d

California and Nevada have designated today as Native American Day, a holiday meant to celebrate the culture of Indigenous Americans and their role in American society. Though not a federal holiday, we ask you to offer this same appreciation to Native people nationally today and every day.
