By centering legislation on the lived realities of victims and survivors, these legal reforms do not merely patch existing systemic flaws; they rewrite the rules of public safety. This includes establishing specialized tribal search-and-rescue protocols, mandate-driven data collection systems that accurately track Indigenous identity, and expanded tribal court jurisdictions to ensure no crime goes unpunished.
Through this localized, culturally grounded approach, legislation becomes a vital tool for immediate protection, accountability, and systemic healing.
