4 in 5 Native women will experience violence in their lifetime. 97% of those perpetrators are non-Native.
Why? A 1978 Supreme Court ruling, Oliphant v. Suquamish Indian Tribe, said tribes can't prosecute non-Natives who commit crimes on their own land.

"Native mascots have been around for more than 100 years. If these names and images haven't educated the public after 100 years, I think it's fair to say they're never going to. And they don't. Native mascots have instead fostered 100 years of ignorance." medium.com/@jayrosenstein/na…
