Addressing the Prevalance of Sexual Violence on Tribal College Campuses
Tribal colleges and universities are the cornerstone for preserving our tribal communities. While there is some research demonstrating the prevalence and dynamics surrounding sexual violence on college campuses, there is little research on sexual violence within tribal college campuses.
What we do know is our people experience sexual violence at much larger rates than non-Native people (NIJ). We also know that access to traditional practices and life-ways are critical for our healing, and often the most effective means available.
