The heart of our Nation lies in the feminine…

The recognition of the life-giving power of a woman

is essential to all native people.

Mission Statement

 

The Sicangu Coalition Against Sexual & Domestic Violence

will work for the social and institutional changes necessary to eliminate

both personal and societal violence against all women.

Systemic change must involve multidisciplinary and community approach

in addressing issues of violence against women and must involve

our youth and elders—the youth to learn in order to lead

in the future and elders for wisdom.

Why do we do what we do?

 

· Native Americans are raped at a rate more than double than rapes reported by all other races on an annual average.

 

· Native women are victimized by an intimate partner at rates higher than those for all other females of any race.

 

· At least 70% of the violent victimizations experienced by Native Americans are committed by person not of the same race
