Many thanks to Sarah Deer for letting us know that Sharing Our Stories of Survival: Native Women Surviving Violence is now out. Deer, who is one of the editors of the book, is the “staff attorney and Victim Advocacy Legal Specialist for the Tribal Law & Policy Institute in Saint Paul, Minnesota; she is a citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma.” We have referred to her work several times on the FPN blog (see here, here and here) and are grateful for her insights about intimate violence against native women, her work does so much to shed light on this horrendous problem that is usually so invisible.
