New Survey on Childhood Violence in Indian Country (posted 8/31)

A survey project believed to be the first of its kind is asking participants about their experience with childhood violence in Indian country. Dire statistics of violence and high rates of incarceration has led to two online surveys: One for young adults to share their perspectives of violence in their childhood, and a survey for caregivers and adults who are making decisions and affecting the lives of Native youth. It is hoped the data from these anonymous surveys will help improve the understanding of childhood victimization and its impact on juvenile delinquency to help reduce those experiences in tribal communities. The survey project, 'A Hand to Hold Onto' was launched in June during the National Congress of American Indian’s Mid-Year Conference in Rapid City, S.D. The two online surveys are now available for participants. To read the full article from Indian Country Today click here. For more information click here.
