- Authors
Smith, Andrea
- Abstract
This article discusses the issues surrounding gender violence and colonialism in Native American Tribal Communities and the complications that legal impunities present to antiviolence activists. Topics include statistics about the incidence of sexual assault on Native American women by white assailants, the inability of tribal justice systems to prosecute non-Native offenders and a lack of community-based violence response systems, and work by former U.S. Department of Justice employee Sarah Deer to decolonize anti-rape laws.
