Working with Native Survivors of Violence

Wednesday October 28, 2026 3:00pm - Thursday October 29, 2026 4:00pm MDT

Milton Proby Room - The Penrose House Conference Center

Sweetgrass Advocacy staff who are devoted to supporting, protecting and uplifting Native survivors will speak about their program, why cultural advocacy matters, barriers our Native community faces, MMIR prevention, responding in a survivor-centered way and how others can collaborate. It is important to know that Native Americans are still here. Although we face disproportionate rates of violence, we are a resilient community working to heal and make a difference for future generations by breaking cycles and creating pathways within a colonized system not built for us.
