Violence such as murder, rape, and other violent crime against Native Americans and Alaska and natives far exceed the national averages. For decades, native American and Alaska native communities have struggled with high rates of assault, abduction, and murder of women. Community advocates describe the crisis as a legacy of generations of government, policies of forced removal, land, seizures, and violence inflicted on native peoples.

A study conducted by the National Institute of Justice found 84.3% of American Indian and Alaska native women have experienced violence in their lifetime, and of those 56.1%. Have experienced sexual violence overall, more than 1.5 million. American Indian and Alaska native women have experienced violence in their lifetime.

As human trafficking has become a world crisis, the Government Accountability Office released a report titled Human Trafficking. Investigations in Indian country or involving Native Americans and actions needed to better report on victims served g a o surveyed, tribal and major city law enforcement agencies and victim service providers on human trafficking investigations.

Victim services and barriers to identifying and serving native victims. Many identified lack of training on identifying and responding appropriately to victims, victim shame and reluctance to come forward, and lack of service provider resources as barriers to investigating cases and serving victims.

According to the National Crime Information Center in 2016, there were 5,712 reports of missing American Indian and Alaska Native women and girls through the US Department of Justices, federal Missing Persons Database, but the National Information Clearing House and Resource Center for missing, unidentified and unclaimed persons cases across the United States called the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System.

The Red Road 

Anything by Randy Woodley 

Neither Wolf Nor Dog 

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee

When the 1830s began, nearly 125,000 various tribal members lived on millions of acres of land in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and Florida - land where their ancestors had lived for centuries. By the end of that decade, only a handful of indigenous Americans would remain in the southeastern United States. The federal government had forced them to leave their homelands and walk hundreds of miles to a specially designated “Indian territory” across the Mississippi River - present day Oklahoma. And this difficult and deadly journey - thousands would die along the way - would be known as the Trail of Tears.
As new waves of European settlers kept pouring into America, farming land along the coasts was quickly taken up. Farming land for growing cotton in Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee was especially coveted. New settlers wanted that land and they would do almost anything to get it - including taking it from tribe members who yes, had lost their battles against the US government, but also - could’ve been treated far more fairly in the aftermath. Rather than work to assimilate the tribes into American culture - the US federal government under President Andrew Jackson and his Indian Removal Act, passed by Congress in 1830, chose to banish them to less desirable land. Though the entire process of Indian Removal that lasted from 1831 to 1877 would come to be known as the Trail of Tears, one march in particular would become emblematic of the entire misguided and heartless venture - the 2,200 mile 1838 journey of seventeen Cherokee detachments. Historians estimate that between 1/4 and 1/3 of what remained of the Cherokee population died during that journey. We look at this journey and other tribe's journey's today, talk about what led up to them, examine the history of European contact with the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Seminole, and Chickasaw, and go over so much more in this jam-packed-with-historical-information episode, let's learn from our mistakes so we don't repeat them edition, of Timesuck.

Can you imagine fighting a war for a country that had removed you from the land your ancestors lived on for centuries - a country actively trying to erase your language and culture? That’s exactly what the Navajo Code Talkers did in WW2. The Navajo code talkers took part in every assault the U.S. Marines conducted in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945. They served in all six Marine divisions, Marine Raider battalions and Marine parachute units, transmitting messages by telephone and radio in their native language - a code that the Japanese never broke. The US government had been trying to erase the Navajo language for decades. Luckily they weren't successful, for the Navajo language and its code talkers contributed greatly to Allied victory over the Japanese. A small group of brave meat sacks built an unbreakable code from a language they’d been forbidden to speak in their childhood. Pretty crazy. The inspirational story of the Navajo code talkers, a deep dive into the Pacific theater of World War II, and of course so much more, today, on Timesuck!

Scaffold burials are some of the most striking and well documented indigenous burial traditions, but are also fascinating case studies to understand how different cultures deal with the same harsh realities of death.
