From the National Tribal Clearinghouse on Sexual Assault (NTCSA): The SART- Tribal Sexual Assault Response Team training video explores how Tribal communities can reclaim traditional practices of collective care to address sexual violence through the development of a Sexual Assault Response Team (SART). Rooted in Indigenous values of unity and healing, the video illustrates how a SART brings together a multidisciplinary team of medical professionals, advocates, law enforcement, court personnel, and sometimes survivors, to provide a coordinated response to sexual assault. Viewers will gain a clear understanding of the purpose and structure of a Tribal SART, how it differs from non-Tribal models, and why culturally grounded responses are essential for building trust and ensuring survivor-centered, trauma-informed care. The training addresses complex jurisdictional challenges, emphasizes the need for confidentiality and safety, and discusses how SARTs can break down common barriers faced by American Indian and Alaska Native survivors.
