Case study in Native American domestic violence: Prosecution and first responders Native Women Rising: Montana voices

    • Mental Health

Episode 3 includes testimony from both first responding police officers in this domestic violence case. Both officers were professional, knowledgeable, and committed to doing their jobs in respectful ways. While there is often grounds for concern when Indigenous people interact with law enforcement personnel in the US, in this case each of the officers were professional, honest, and fair. I am deeply grateful to the officers in this podcast footage. 

They likely saved my life that night. I will be eternally grateful to them. 

The image highlighted for this episode is an image of the hole Mr. Edmond Juneau punched into the wall of the bathroom in my house. It is mentioned frequently in the testimony, so I thought it was an appropriate image to include. I will replace, but for now I realize it is a symbol of a scar that I am still working to heal.
