Mending the Sacred Hoop

Mending the Sacred Hoop is an organization charged with ending violence against Native women and children. Violence against all women is a social problem that has wide-ranging consequences for society. As such, it requires social change to help alleviate the problem. Native women are the highest victimized population by perpetrators of all racial groups in the United States. The Sacred Hoop Tribal Domestic Violence Coalition works to build the capacity of survivors, advocates, Native women’s organizations, and victim service providers to end violence against Native women in Minnesota. Mending the Sacred Hoop also has a Technical Assistance Project, which provides technical assistance to the Office on Violence Against Women Tribal grantees.
