Rethinking Protection: Ending Systemic Harm Against Native Families

American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian survivors of domestic violence face significant obstacles to safety and are disproportionately harmed in child welfare systems across the U.S. These barriers and outcomes are the result of colonization, historical oppression, genocide, intergenerational trauma, attempts to undermine sovereignty, systemic exclusion from legal protections, and the lack of culturally relevant programming (and funding for programming) that is designed to address the connection between these harms and family violence.

We invite you to join Rethinking Protection: Ending Systemic Harm Against Native Families and challenge biases, build understanding, and learn what your role is in ensuring that Indigenous peoples can maintain their resilience, their effective political advocacy, and the healing practices rooted in their cultures and traditions.

This webinar will be conducted in spoken English with English-ASL interpretation, English-Spanish interpretation, and automated closed captioning. Please let us know during registration about any access-related needs.
