Abstract

Recent legislation in multiple states has called for studies on the scope of missing Native American persons. Here we report on one such study from Nebraska by first describing the practical and methodological issues for researchers to consider when examining data on missing Native persons. Then, using data from four point-in-time-counts in 2020, rates of Native American missing persons as well as case contexts over the study period are reported. Findings show that Native Americans are disproportionately represented among Nebraska's missing persons, that reports often involve minor boys, and that cases are dynamic and most are resolved quickly. Relatedly, most Native missing persons cases are only listed on the state clearinghouse, not the national missing persons lists. The paper is concluded with a discussion of specific directions for future research and policy regarding missing Native Americans.

关于评估内布拉斯加州失踪美洲原住民的范围：全州范围的研究结果和对未来研究的建议

多个州最近的立法要求对失踪美洲原住民的范围进行研究。在这里，我们报道了内布拉斯加州的一项此类研究，首先描述了研究人员在检查失踪原住民数据时需要考虑的实际和方法问题。然后，使用2020年四个时间点的统计数据，报告了研究期间美国原住民的失踪率以及案件背景。调查结果显示，美国原住民在内布拉斯加州失踪人员中的比例过高，报告往往涉及未成年男孩，案件是动态的，大多数案件都很快得到解决。与此相关的是，大多数土著失踪人员案件只列在国家信息交换所，而不是国家失踪人员名单上。论文最后讨论了未来关于失踪美洲原住民的研究和政策的具体方向。
