Spilyy Tymoo, Wqi-m Springs, Oregon June 26, 2003 Coalition: (Continued from page 1) The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs already has a well-established and active Vic tims of Crime office, but the same is not true of other tribes in the state, said George. One large reservation in the state, she said, has only one person han dling all of the domestic vio lence and sexual assault victims assistance duties. Clearly, this is much too large a caseload for one person, said George. Another problem is lack of victims shelters available to In dian people, who can find it very hard to live at non-Indian shel ters because of cultural differ ences. All too often the victim chooses to return to an abusive situation rather than stay at the shelter, said George. Along with the survey, an other upcoming project of the coalition will be the production of a documentary video on the subject of domestic violence and sexual assault in Indian Country. The project will involve all of the tribes in the state, said George. The coalition also plans to develop a training program for people whose work is providing assistance to Indian people who are victims of domestic violence.
