These women deserve to be heard, served and protected. The indians here & in Alaska have been quiet in their distress for too long.

Now, it is their turn and time to help them out!!!!!!!!!!!

Think of tomorrow-
Plant seeds
Grow trees
Make a forest
For Mother Nature
And her animals........................

The change needs to take place from within Tribal communities. It will not happen otherwise.

the changes will just happen, when all the white americans accept the native people for what they are, honorble, proud people, who never experienced rape, before the white man came. rape is a invention of the white man, not of the native people.it is really disgusting that even now in 2007, the native women get abused, violated and raped!!!!when will the white population of the us stop abusing the native people? and anyway on what grounds do white people abuse the native people, i wonder??? it doesn't matter, how often the white man tries to cover the history with lies, all the people of the whole world knows, that the white american forfathers were thiefs, rapers and murderers, and NOT the heroes they pretend and pretended to be and that is a fact!!!

Rape is a crime of violence against all women,from every culture around the world. As a man,I was raped by a woman when I was twelve years old. I told my father and his reply was " how does it feel to be a man."that is what must also change. That comment left me confused and hurt, my adolescence stoped at that point and I spent many years working through it. There is no cosensual sex with a twelve year old. I raised my sons to respect women,and no means no.
I will help in any way I can.
