Tribal elders enjoy an afternoon of games, prizes and food on the Fort Berthold Reservation
I have a note here from Sen. Carol Juneau, D-Browning, Mont. She is inviting people to take a stand on violence against Native women at an upcoming conference. If we all do our part to honor Native women, we’ll help make our families and communities healthy today and tomorrow. Here’s what Juneau has to say:
Dear Friends and Tribal Leaders…
I do hope that you will be able to attend the conference next week, June 23-24, in Helena, at the State Capitol on stopping the violence against Montana’s American Indian Women.
The 61 Montana State Legislature recently adopted Joint Resolution 26 entitled “Honoring Montana’s American lndian Women by Stopping the Violence Against Them”.
The resolution called for the Montana Department of Justice, Montana Board of Crime Control, Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services and other state agencies as well as our congressional delegation, our tribal governments and local governments to act aggressively to intervene in the pattern of domestic and sexual violence that affects Montana’s American lndian women.
Please contact State Director of lndian Affairs Jennifer Perez Cole at (406) 444-3702 at jpcole@mt.gov to confirm your tribe’s participation.
Senator Carol Juneau, SD 8
