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
