Native American Justice – Webinar and Prayer Service
Native American women are experiencing a crisis of violence and sexual abuse. They go missing by the thousands at rates considerably higher than those of any other race. This history can be traced back to the Doctrine of Discovery, colonization of Indigenous lands, and the perpetuation of policies that continue to support the perpetrators rather than protect Native women.
At this event, we will look at factors that increase vulnerability, including:
– The Legacy of Colonization: forced assimilation leading to systemic inequalities
– Institutional Racism: erosion of Indigenous sovereignty and social structures
– Barriers to Justice
– Socioeconomic Vulnerabilities
Finally, we will join together for “Say Their Names,” a prayer service to honor our stolen relatives and seek strength for the work of dismantling these colonial structures. Join us to learn and pray for those who were stolen, and those impacted, as we seek to end the violence.
