Today, Native Women’s Society of the Great Plains and First Nations Women’s Alliance will be guest on Native America Calling. The calamity at Penn State concerning a former coach molesting young boys has shed a national spotlight on the issue of sexual abuse. Native women and children are victims of more acts of rape and violence than white or black women and children. Often, these violent acts are committed by someone within their own community, which leads to the crime being swept under the rug. Is violence against Native women and children being kept quiet to protect the reputations of the guilty? Guests are Linda Thompson (Chippewa) Director/First Nations Women’s Alliance, and Carmen O’Leary (Cheyenne River Sioux) Director/Native Women’s Society of the Great Plains.
