Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Missing and Murdered Indigenous People is a historic and contemporary issue that has gained national attention. In 2021, homicide was the eighth leading cause of death among American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) persons aged between 1 and 54 years old, and homicide is the sixth leading cause of death among all AIAN males aged 1-54 years old.
OBJECTIVE: These data will build knowledge around AIAN homicides and to identify circumstances that can aid in comprehensive Missing and Murdered Indigenous People prevention efforts.
METHODS: AIAN homicide data came from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\'s National Violent Death Reporting System, a state/jurisdiction-based surveillance system that collects detailed information about characteristics and circumstances of violent deaths. We examined data from 2003 to 2020 (all available years) from participating states/jurisdictions. We also assessed sociodemographic characteristics of victims and suspects, incident characteristics and differences across dichotomised urban/rural status. The study was conducted in 2022.
RESULTS: The National Violent Death Reporting System provided data on 2959 AIAN homicides from 2003 to 2020 (54.2% urban and 45.8% rural). Significant differences based on the two locations included type of weapon used, the location of the injury, race of the primary suspect, the victim\'s relationship to the suspect and select circumstances precipitating the homicide including crimes precipitating the homicide and homicides stemming from intimate partner violence.
RESULTS: These findings provide crucial information to strengthen public health efforts for prevention.

摘要：
背景：失踪和被谋杀的土著人民是一个历史性和当代的问题，已经引起了全国的关注。2021年，凶杀是1至54岁的美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民（AIAN）死亡的第八大原因。在所有1-54岁的AIAN男性中，凶杀是第六大死因。
目标：这些数据将建立有关AIAN凶杀案的知识，并确定可以帮助全面预防失踪和被谋杀土著人民的情况。
方法：AIAN凶杀数据来自疾病控制和预防中心的国家暴力死亡报告系统，基于州/辖区的监控系统，收集有关暴力死亡特征和情况的详细信息。我们检查了参与州/辖区2003年至2020年（所有可用年份）的数据。我们还评估了受害者和嫌疑人的社会人口统计学特征，城乡二分法的事件特征和差异。该研究于2022年进行。
结果：国家暴力死亡报告系统提供了2003年至2020年2959起AIAN凶杀案的数据（城市占54.2％，农村占45.8％）。基于两个位置的重大差异包括使用的武器类型，受伤的位置,主要嫌疑人的种族，受害者与嫌疑人的关系，并选择引发凶杀的情况，包括引发凶杀的犯罪和源于亲密伴侣暴力的凶杀。
结果：这些发现为加强公共卫生预防工作提供了重要信息。
