Responding to domestic violence on Indian reservations

Clip: 11/21/2014 | 8m 46s

Victims say sexual violence on Indian reservations are still falling through the cracks.

On American Indian reservations, women face some of the highest levels of domestic violence in the country. Congress reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act last year, which effectively gave tribal courts jurisdiction over certain domestic violence crimes committed by non-Indians. But victims say acts of sexual violence on Indian reservations are still falling through the cracks.
