This workshop final session covers the cold case matrix that helps determine what cold cases will likely be opened again with efforts from the family or advocates to put it forward. Also ways to request information on closed cases. Chris also goes over why its important to advocate for yourself to help an MMIW MMIP case be reopened.  Show slides are available here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1VpV6176a_GBePfjxZsMc3vPIF5EGxb1c/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103615332257278026671&rtpof=true&sd=true

Still working through the meat and potatoes of constructing a Tribally based MMIP Task Force. Chris speaks to how this workshop is not just a recipe book give to tribes, but a guided effort to complete and sustain the formation of a task force. We remember why task forces are relevant and encouraged via a result of Savannah's Act. Chris also emphasizes the importance of assessments, data and how that can give communities a head start on the pulse of what activity is going on and how to find solutions.
