The Sacred Hoop Coalition is a statewide Tribal Domestic Violence Coalition serving all tribes and Native community programs in the state of MN. The purpose of our coalition is to build the capacity of survivors, advocates, Native women’s organizations, and victim service providers to end violence against Native women.
We believe that community organizing and dialogue at the local level will increase the opportunity to develop strong, cooperative working relationships. The challenge for our communities is to reclaim traditional views while developing culturally based responses that ensure the safety of Native families and hold those who batter accountable.
We provide training, technical assistance, and resources to Native communities who are organizing to address domestic violence. It is our goal to build community-based responses that address the violence against their women while keeping women’s voices at the forefront.
The Sacred Hoop Coalition is supported by Grant No. 2020-IW-AX-0003 awarded by the Office on Violence Against Women, U.S. Department of Justice. The opinions, findings, conclusions, and recommendations expressed are those of the SHC and do not reflect the views of the U.S. DOJ, Office on VAWA.
