NCAI leader raises women’s security issue (AP) — The president of the N ational Congress o f A m erican Indians urged the H ouse o f R epresentatives last week to pass the Vio lence Against Women Act so N ativ e A m ericans . and Alaska Natives can “protect their own people and sur ro u n d in g co m m u n ities against brutality.” Jefferson K eel’s appeal followed Senate passage ear lier this m onth o f the act that continues to allow fund ing for dom estic violence programs and victims sup port. The bill, which the Sen ate ap proved on a 78-22 vote, would allow American Indian ' courts to prosecute and sentence suspects in do mestic violence cases w ho are not American Indians. Keel made the remark in the State o f the Indian N a tio n s ad d ress at the Newseum in Washington. The annual address fol low ed P re s id e n t B arack O b am a’s delivery o f the State o f the Union. Obama also urged the House to pass the Violence Against Women Act in his speech. “T here is nothing m ore im p o rtan t to tribal leaders than the safety and well-be ing o f tribal citizens,” said K eel, a m e m b e r o f th e Chickasaw N ation o f Okla homa. House Republican leaders are working on their own ver sion o f the act, which expired in 2011. U rgency for passage o f the legislation is captured in the statistics, that show high rates o f sexual assault and d o m estic violence against Native American women and that alm ost 60 percent are married to men who are not Native American o r Alaska Natives, Keel said. Such sus pects in crimes can’t be pros ecuted in tribal courts, local authorities other than tribal officials often lack resources, to respond to the crimes and federal authorities also have declined to prosecute many o f the crimes, he said. “ C o n g ress m u s t allow tribes, like all governments, to protect their own people and surrounding comm uni ties, from brutality,” Keel said to applause.

D aniel Akaka, echoed Keel’s appeal in her follow up “re sp o n se fro m C o n gress.” K eel delivered a largely upbeat message saying Indian Country has benefited from the O bam a administration’s commitment to tribal sover eignty. T hat has helped many tribes develop and manage th e ir b u sin esses an d r e sources, “instead o f manag ing poverty programs.” ■ D espite the progress, a quarter o f native people live in poverty and unem ploy m ent for some tribes can be double thé national average, Keel said. Many tribes rely on government funding to oper ate health centers, schools and other programs and fa cilities. The National Congress o f A m erican In d ian s had hoped tribes would be exempt from automatic funding cuts should they go into effect in two weeks because o f the ongoing budget fight in Con gress.
