It is an issue. When a Tribal girl get's rapped, it seems to be pushed to the back, or blame placed on her. When an elderly tribal woman is knocked over and robbed in a parking lot, it often get's pushed behind the lines. Today it's important tribal nations post these issues as many placed as possible and call media so the issues are seen.
