EAGAN, Minn. <\/strong>\u2014 During Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October, StrongHearts Native Helpline joins advocates, sister organizations and communities throughout Indian Country to raise awareness about domestic violence and to support and honor survivors and victims. This year, StrongHearts calls on everyone \u2014 advocates, tribal leaders, reservation and urban Indian community members, service providers and Native organizations \u2014 to support and strengthen the movement to prevent and end domestic violence.<\/p>\n

According to the National Institute of Justice, domestic violence disproportionately impacts Native Americans and Alaska Natives, with more than 1.5 million Native women and 1.4 million Native men experiencing violence during their lifetime, often by non-Native perpetrators. Domestic violence has several faces: physical, sexual, emotional, cultural, financial and digital. Children, elders and LGBTQ2S+ individuals can experience domestic violence.<\/p>\n

Domestic violence among Native Americans is not natural or traditional. The domination and subjugation of Native Americans began with colonization and continues today. Colonization was responsible for the theft, occupation, pollution and exploitation of Indigenous lands. Today, Native Americans who are living in tribal communities on or near lands that are exploited by extractive industries face the highest rates of domestic and sexual violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a viable connection between the violence that has been inflicted on the land through colonization and violence brought on Native peoples,\u201d says Lori Jump (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians), director, StrongHearts Native Helpline. \u201cWhen the value of the land is lost, the value of Indigenous peoples of the land is lost and violence follows.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStrongHearts Native Helpline is doing its part to raise awareness about this critical issue in our Native communities and to promote healing,\u201d says Jump. \u201cNo matter where Native Americans live in the U.S. \u2014 on a reservation, in a small town, a rural area, or in a major U.S. city \u2014 we are here for you. Please join StrongHearts in believing survivors and victims. Let\u2019s bring our voices together, and take action. Let\u2019s collectively put an end to domestic violence once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n
