Andrea Smith, Conquest: Sexual Violence and American Indian Genocide
To add to this: 1 in 3 Native American Women will face sexual violence in their lifetime. This is much higher than national estimates of 1 in 4 or 1 in 6 for other groups of women. And, unlike other racial groups (which have assailants of the same race), the majority of assailants are white men.

Reblogging because I was looking back through some old posts and was surprised to find that only a few people had noticed this.

seeing all of these fucking stats just make me want to hide in bed all day.
SUICIDE RATE IS 190% HIGHER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE
190% HIGHER

My cousin is a Catholic priest, he was visiting me and had to cut his vacation short because there was another death on the reserve. He said, I didn’t become a priest to preside over funerals all the time, but sometimes it seems like it’s all I do.
