Northern California’s Yurok Tribe will work with the U.S. Marshals Service as a pilot location for the agency’s Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Initiative, according to a Feb. 21 press release by the U.S. Marshals Service.

The Initiative is in accordance with the agency’s plans to “develop tribally-led collaborative partnerships to proactively examine public safety issues—particularly those involving missing endangered children.”
