X-WR-CALDESC:Join us for Responding to Sexual Assault & Intimate Partner Vi
 olence for Indigenous Communities.\n\nThis training is a collaborative eff
 ort between Rensselaer County Sexual Assault Response Team\, the Seven Dan
 cers Coalition\, New York State Coalition Against Sexual Assault and the N
 ew York State Coalition Against Domestic Violence.\n\nStudies indicate tha
 t violence against women—including sexual assault and domestic abuse —is h
 igher among Native American communities. In fact a recent study funded by 
 the National Institute of Justice (NIJ\,) revealed that more than four in 
 five Native American and Alaska Native women and men have experienced viol
 ence in their lifetime\, and more than one in three experienced violence i
 n the past year. The study\, part of NIJ's research program on violence ag
 ainst Native women\, looked at how prevalent psychological aggression and 
 physical violence by intimate partners\, stalking\, and sexual violence we
 re in Indigenous communities It also examined the perpetrators' race and t
 he impact of the violence.\n\nIn order to understand the ways intimate par
 tner violence and sexual assault occur in indigenous communities\, we must
  examine the history of oppression that laid the groundwork for the rise o
 f violence against Native women. With facilitators from the Seven Dancers 
 Coalition as our guides\, we will journey through the history of Indigenou
 s people in this land\, particularly in New York\, up to the present and d
 iscuss the unique needs that service providers and responders need to be a
 ware of in order to provide culturally responsive and appropriate services
  and advocacy to indigenous survivors of sexual assault and intimate partn
 er violence.\n\nFrom Jonel Beauvais of the Seven Dancers Coalition\, “We h
 ave always been on the receiving end of violence. Our truth and considerat
 ion of future generations is what will lead us to a place of understanding
  what happened\, taking accountability and arriving at a place where vicio
 us cycles are broken\, that healing and restoration are possible.  Interge
 nerational trauma is alive and well in our communities but through our cul
 ture\, best efforts and prayers\, so is our resilience. Addressing sexual 
 assault and all its layers in Indian Country is a task that we can not do 
 alone\, we invite you to be a part of the process in creating change\, bei
 ng informed and believing that we will have a better narrative to pass dow
 n to our grandchildren.”
