We're donating $15 from every purchase today to the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center because...
In 2017 Senator Heidi Heitkamp introduced the Savanna’s Act, and Congress found:
- on some reservations, Indian Women are murdered at more than 10 times the national average
- American Indians and Alaska Natives are 2.5 times as likely to experience violent crimes and at least 2 times more likely to experience rape or sexual assaults crimes.
- more than 4 in 5 American Indian and Alaska Native Women, or 84.3 percent, have experienced violence in their lifetime.
- investigation into these cases is made difficult for Tribal Law enforcement due to lack of resources such as training, equipment, funding + lack of interagency cooperation.
