To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the New York Freedom of Information Law, I hereby request the following records:
Basic information on all cases (open and closed) of missing American Indian/Alaska Native persons (including juveniles) within your region, from 2000 through 2020; this basic information can include but is not limited to: person name, age, DOB, incident date, case closure date, county/jurisdiction in which person was reported missing.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you for replying back to our FOIL request,
We were notified that you denied to respond to our FOIL request on the basis that you do not have records that match our criteria.
We have a few follow-up questions:
1. Do you not have records that match our request because you do not keep records of missing people based on race or ethnicity?
2. Do you not have any records of missing Indigenous people at all?
3. Does your jurisdiction not keep records of missing peoples?
4. If you do not have any missing records of Indigenous peoples between 2000 through 2020, do you have any murder records of Indigenous peoples within this timeframe?
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in the matter.
Sincerely,
Urban Indigenous Collective
