Dear Erin,
Welcome to the Multnomah County Family Violence Coordinating Council
Newsletter published monthly. If you are having formatting difficulties
allow photos to be displayed or add us to your safe senders list.
Multnomah County and the Family Violence Coordinating Council are
delighted to welcome Annie Neal as the new Director of the Domestic
Violence Coordination Office!
Annie Neal assumed the duties of the Director on April 1, 2011. She is
well-known to the Council, and has worked on several important projects
in her 13 years as a member of the Office. Most recently, she has been
the lead staff on developing and implementing the Safe Start Project,
the contested restraining order court watch, and the current Defending
Childhood Initiative. She has developed a breadth and depth of knowledge
about the resources available in Multnomah County and the region, and
how to navigate the many complex institutions and agencies that
survivors seek services from.
Annie has worked in the field for 21 years, and has been with Multnomah
County since 1998. She holds a Masters in Public Administration from
Portland State University, and is well known for her dedication to
families seeking safety from domestic and sexual violence, her
collaborative work with system partners, and her deep commitment to the
rights of children. We are all excited to support her as she directs the
work of this office.
Domestic Violence in Native American Communities: Things to remember
when working with Native American Survivors.
(Excerpted from the handout "Things to remember" by Tawna Sanchez.)
Alaska Native (AN) and Native American (NA) women and men often report
higher rates of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) then women and men of
other minority backgrounds. According to the National Violence against
Woman Survey over 37% of AN/NA woman and 12.4% of men are victims of IPV
in their lifetime. These are the highest rates of any ethnic group.
Working with survivors who are of AN/NA decent requires an understanding
of native culture, as well as the historical roots and the current
impacts of oppression and racism.
There are approximately 564 tribal bands and/or nations both recognized
and not recognized, by the US government. There is no one set of rules
that can cover all of them. The information provided in this article is
general information and designed to outline some but not all of the
cultural differences.
1. Often people will try to relate to native survivors by telling
them that their great-great grandmother was a Cherokee princess. While
the survivor may be nice about it this is rarely helpful and does not
help survivors to feel more connected. There are several problems with
this, you are putting yourself above the survivor by stating that there
is royalty in your family and not theirs and most native tribes don't
have royalty in their tribal systems.
2. Physical contact with someone that is not a close relative is
inappropriate. It may seem natural or even comforting to you to put your
arm around or put your hand on a survivors shoulder, knee or hand;
however in many native cultures such contact is too intimate for someone
outside immediate family and close friends.
3. Touching a survivors or her children's hair is inappropriate;
hair is very sacred and is considered by many native tribes to be as
much a part of the body as the heart or lungs.
4. It is inappropriate to ask questions out of your own curiosity
about survivors' traditions, religious practices or the various meanings
and names of sacred objects. If you have a concern that relates to
shelter security or safety concerns ask questions, but don't make native
survivors your cultural teachers.
5. Assumptions are sometimes made that all native people receive
money from the government or tribal casinos. This is not true. Most
tribal peoples do not receive any money from the government and often
live below the poverty line. Not all tribes have casinos, and those that
do don't necessarily distribute funds directly to tribal members. Also,
not all native people are registered tribal members, so many may not be
able to access tribal services. Additionally, those who are enrolled in
federally recognized tribes may not have access to services provided by
their tribes because they have moved due to domestic violence.
6. The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) is a Federal law enacted to
protect native children from being removed from native families and
being placed in non-native homes. The Act requires that native children
who are removed from their home for whatever reason are placed with
relatives and/or in a native home first. They may be placed in
non-native homes only as a last resort. It is important to know that if
a survivor is a tribal member and her children are not s/he may or may
not be able to access services through the ICWA in order to assist with
custody issues regarding their children.
7. As with many minority cultures food is a concern when a native
survivor is in a domestic violence or homeless shelter. Native people
are sometimes lactose intolerant, which means s/he may not be able to
digest dairy products. Also, the survivor and their children may be more
accustomed to foods that are readily available on the reservation such
as Salmon. Native Americans have for many years been subject to the USDA
food commodities programs and may be cautious at first when trying new
foods.
8. Family is very important in native communities. Establishing
familial ties is the first priority when meeting new native people in a
community. The impact of 1950's relocation has had far reaching effects.
When native families relocated to cities not all of the family chose to
go, leaving families to create close ties in the cities with other
native people that they were not related to. These relationships are as
equally important as biological relationships. Native people may also
have a different way of expressing familial ties; e.g. a first cousin is
considered a brother or sister. Native communities have found the need
to maintain family ties a struggle when coming into domestic violence
and homeless shelters. It is isolating for native survivors when s/he is
unable to share the shelter location with safe family members or have
safe contact.
9. It is often a concern for native survivors living in shelter to
get time out of shelter for funerals, social events and ceremonies. A
native funeral can last between 2-7 days with the average being 4 days.
This might also include extra time for travel to and from the funeral
site. Summer ceremonies as well as Pow-wows can last for 3-7 days
depending on the location. These ceremonies are very important to native
families; they help to carry on sacred traditions. This is not to say
shelters need to change their rules just for native survivors, however
it is something to look at in terms of cultural awareness and
understanding. It may seem odd to you that a survivor is willing to give
up safe shelter for a ceremony, but to native survivors it may not be
that simple.
10. Native people tend to have a long history of mistrust of the legal
system due to a long history of treaties being broken over the years.
Fear of the legal system prevents many native people from seeking help
with legal issues and often leaves them in worse situations with the
law. The legal and social service programs have been responsible for
forced removal of native children from their homes and families under
the guise of providing a "healthy home". The majority of Native American
children are not removed due to abuse; they are removed for neglect that
is more often than not the result of poverty.

National Domestic Violence Hotline Report Details Sabotage of Birth
Control
Men who abuse women physically and emotionally may also sabotage their
partners' birth control, pressuring them to become pregnant against
their will, new reports suggest.
Several small studies have described this kind of coercion among
low-income teenagers and young adults with a history of violence by
intimate partners. Now, a report being released Tuesday by the National
Domestic Violence Hotline says 1 in 4 women who agreed to answer
questions after calling the hot line said a partner had pressured them
to become pregnant, told them not to use contraceptives, or forced them
to have unprotected sex.
The report was based on answers from 3,169 women, but it was not a
research study. It was based on answers to four questions posed women
around the country who contacted the domestic violence hot line between
Aug. 16 and Sept. 26, 2010, who were not in immediate danger and who
agreed to participate. About 6,800 callers refused to answer the
questions.
Respondents told stories of men refusing to wear a condom, forcing sex
without a condom, poking holes in condoms, and flushing birth control
pills down the toilet.
One respondent described having to hide in the bathroom to take her
pill. Another said that when she got her period recently, her partner
was "furious."
The questions were devised by Dr. Elizabeth Miller, an assistant
professor of pediatrics at the School of Medicine at the University of
California, Davis, whose earlier papers on reproductive coercion
prompted interest in the subject.
Dr. Miller's paper, published last year in the journal Contraception,
reported that at five family planning clinics in Northern California,
one-third of 683 female patients whose partners were physically abusive
said the men had also pressured them to become pregnant or had sabotaged
their birth control. Of 191 women who reported birth control sabotage,
79 percent also reported physical abuse, the study found.

Free On-Line Violence Prevention Course!
Each year, more than 53,000 people lose their lives to violence. In
addition to the tremendous physical and emotional toll, violence has
substantial medical and lost productivity costs. In 2000, these totaled
more than $70 billion in the United States. The figure grows when we add
criminal justice system costs, social services, and other expenses.
As Dr. Rodney Hammond, Director of CDC's Division of Violence
Prevention, says, "Violence isn't something that just happens that you
can't do anything about. It can be prevented."
One way CDC is helping the nation prevent violence is a free on-line
course that's available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It's called
Principles of Prevention. The course-which offers continuing education
credits-teaches key concepts of primary prevention, the public health
approach, and the social-ecological model.
Participants complete interactive exercises to learn to help prevent
five types of violence:
* Child abuse and neglect
* Intimate partner violence
* Sexual violence
* Suicide
* Youth violence
The course is designed for those working to stop violence from ever
happening. It helps professionals move from the problem to the solution.
The course is available at www.vetoviolence.org/pop
