The “Sacred Responsibility: Protecting Our People” survey is intended for Native programs that primarily offer services related to domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, or other forms of violence. The survey is a collaboration with Urban Indian Health Institute (UIHI), Alaska Native Women’s Resource Center, National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center, StrongHearts Native Helpline, and Alliance of Tribal Coalitions to End Violence, to better understand the current services and potential impacts of federal funding cuts to Native DV/SA/MMIP programs nationwide.
Information gathered will be used to create a report for Congress, the Trump Administration, Tribal Nations, Tribal Organizations, and Urban Indian Organizations, to advocate for continued federal funding to uphold treaty and trust responsibilities. This snapshot will offer the very first national picture of American Indian and Alaska Natives seeking services, number of unmet requests, and the potential impact of federal funding cuts.
