The United States has yet to deal adequately with the crisis of the vast numbers of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls in the country, U.S. Bangor Daily News reported.

According to the daily from the U.S. state of Maine, more than 1.5 million American Indian and Alaska Native women have been subjected to violence, accounting for 84.3 percent of that population.

"Within this group, 56.1 percent have suffered from sexual violence and 55.5 percent have experienced physical violence at the hands of an intimate partner," said the report.
