Greetings From Sacred Circle
We would like to take this opportunity to invite you all to participate in our ENDING VIOLENCE AGAINST NATIVE WOMEN TRAINING INSTITUTE training, on March 28th - April 1st, 2011 in Rapid City, South Dakota.
Description:
The Ending Violence Against Native Women Training Institute provides a strong foundation for advocates and their allies to work effectively with their own programs and within a coordinated response. The Institute begins with a one day plenary session to build a shared understanding of the dynamics of violence against native women and highlights coordinated community response initiatives. The last 4 days you will attend one of the five workshops offered and closing ceremony.
There are 5 break-out workshops to choose from:
* Role of Batterers' Program Workshop: Batterers' Re-Education Program Facilitation.

The Minnesota Indian Women's Sexual Assault Coalition (MIWSAC) is a statewide tribal coalition with individual and program membership from across the state. MIWSAC was founded in October of 2001 through funding from the US Departmentof Justice, Violence Against Women Office. MIWSAC incorporated as a 501 (c)(3) non profit organization in 2004. As one of 22 Tribal Coalitions around the country formed to address sexual assault and domestic violence in American Indian Communities, we focus specifically on ending and preventing sexual violence.
Our statewide membership is comprised of American Indian and Alaska Native women and allies who bring with them extensive cultural knowledge and long histories of working in sexual assault and/or domestic violence programs. They are the heart of our Coalition and provides direction in our strategic planning, goal setting, and all other major programmatic decision making. This collective decision making reflects our tribal values and strengthens the vision of the work we do on behalf of all survivors. MIWSAC strives to reclaim the traditional values that honor the sovereignty of our women and children by incorporating culture and spirituality into every aspect of program operations.
