One in three Native American or Alaska Native women will be raped at some point in their lives. Most do not seek justice because they know they will be met with inaction or indifference.

  • All rapists, serial killers and pedophiles must fucking hang. If anybody ever even thought about harming or raping with one of my family members, female, child, or even male, they would die shrieking. I don't care what ANYBODY thinks, nor do I care how many thumbs down my comment gets, nobody touches even my LEAST favorite family member, at least without their permission, without at least getting fucking violently beaten down.

  • Any man that would bring harm to any women or child, under any circumstances, should be put down like rabid dog. To take your life would be an honor, and I would do so proudly. If you are Native American man, and you would commit such a heinous crime on your own people, or anyone, you are the lowest scum of the earth. The true men and warriors of our Native American communities should hunt these cowards down and bury them deep.

    That would be real justice on behalf of the offended victims.

  • Native women experience the most violence & discrimination of all women in the US. Not only did they have a higher domestic violence rate compared to other races, but (& this is something hardly anyone knows) an estimated 70 % (DOJ ) -yes 70%- of rapes are committed by men of ANOTHER RACE.

    Thus the majority of rapes of Native women are perpetrated by men not of their own race. Plus they have to contend with the abuse from men of their own race. ANd we only hear about racism against Africans.

  • If the judges are'nt doing the right thing then they are just as bad as the rapist! I have yet to see justice in Alaska!

  • ALL: I've just begun researching this horrible scourge and atrocity occuring on many reservations. We as females need to help speed forth outreach, medical, and therapy programs to help our Native grandmothers, mothers, sisters, daughters, nieces, cousins, etc. Let us NOT allow this to become a "back burner" issue. Let's spread this video to women's studies and women's organizations. We can help.

  • All Native women should carry a pocket knife on them and start cutting certain body parts if someone tries to rape them. If the incompetent police, D.A., judges, jury, whoever, won't protect these women, then they're just going to have to do it themselves. Simple as that. And when authorities complain, then just say, "Hey, you won't protect me, so I'm protecting myself". It's in the Constitution that you can defend your life and your property. The blood will be on the authorities' hands.

  • @TheUnpromisedOne Native Americans have invented some pretty effective weapons for defending their families.

  • i am so sorry that women are facing this..i know how it hurts..and is a scar that never leaves..and these men just continue to live life in such neatness when they are criminals..i am sorry...but they need to get raped everyday so they can feel a womans pain...

  • @nativeman65 they do enforce the law but this stuff is kept behind doors. most of the men who do commit this crime are "bad ass" with tiny hearts.

  • @shadhom thats exactly what I say to people on my reservation and You're right this is racially ignored. I speak out on this problem alot but its strange how some women stand up for their abusive men and say that is just a part of life. I have actually meet women who can't stand being in a relationship with a nice guy so they run off with a abusive guy. none of it makes any sense.

  • This high ratio of indian rape obviously has been racially ignored and should be addressed immediately to the highest levels of goverment, just look at each woman as your mother, and it will be addressed.

  • 9N8X you sound like a rapist...how sad you are so low in your thinking.
