More than 4 in 5 American Indian and Alaskan
Native women have experienced violence in their
lifetime. In some U.S. counties, murder rates of
Native American women are up to 10 times high-
er than the national average for all other races. By
flying or displaying a flag in the month of October
you can show your support and honor our loved
ones who have experienced or lost their lives to domestic violence. Con-
tact the CARE Program to find out how you can get a flag to fly.

Use your favorite art form (beading, sketching,
painting, sewing, etc.) to create an art piece that
includes a purple bear paw in honor of Tillie Black
Bear, who was known as the grandmother of the
Battered Women’s Movement and dedicated her
life to the safety of Indigenous women.
The CARE program will host a weekly Zoom
session every Tuesday in October at 5:30 where we can
come together (virtually) and work on our art pieces,
share stories and be in community with one another.
Your art piece can be in any art form you like. Check
