The data is clear: The need for safety is everywhere, but access to resources is not. That's why we advocate for stronger Tribal sovereignty, sustained investment in Native-led services, and solutions shaped by the communities they serve. #SafetyIsTraditional #DVAM2026

Data tells us what’s happening. Stories tell us what it means. Together, they help us better understand the realities Native survivors and communities face—and strengthen the solutions rooted in their experiences. #SafetyIsTraditional #WithSurvivors #DVAM2026

“Native women in leadership roles exist everywhere.” 💜 Throughout #DVAM2026, we’re asking: What does it take to create safety for Native women and communities? To survivors: we see you, we honor you, and we stand with you. #SafetyIsTraditional #DVAM2026

“Everything is tied into culture and nature, every day life.” 🌽 A quick look back at the NIWRC 2026 Specialty Institute! From crafting beaded corn necklaces to hand-weaving baskets, this gathering was all about honoring community and tradition.🪶

Practice community care by taking care of yourself, listening to your needs, and demonstrating self-care. Nurturing oneself strengthens the whole community. 💜
