; (B) has been increasingly exploited by criminals; and (C) requires a high degree of commitment and cooperation among Tribal, Federal, and State law enforcement officials. (8) In states with restrictive land settlement acts such as Maine and Alaska, Indian country is limited, resources for local tribal responses either nonexistent or insufficient to meet the needs, and jurisdiction is unnecessarily complicated and increases the already high levels of victimization of American Indian and Alaska Native women. According to the Indian Law and Order Commission Report, Alaska Native women are over-represented in the domestic violence victim population by 250 percent; they comprise 19 percent of the state population, but are 47 percent of reported rape victims. These issues are further complicated as the Indian Law and Order Commission Report noted that at least 30 percent of villages lack any law enforcement at all. (b) Purposes The purposes of this Act are— (1) to clarify the responsibilities of Federal, State, Tribal, and local governments and law enforcement agencies with respect to responding to cases of missing and murdered Indians; (2) to increase coordination and communication among Federal, State, Tribal, and local law enforcement agencies, including medical examiner and coroner offices; (3) to empower Tribal governments with the resources and information necessary to effectively respond to cases of missing and murdered Indians, including Tribes located in any State known as a PL–280 State
