One in three Native American women report they have been raped. More needs to be done to bring perpetrators to justice. That is more than 2.5 times the national average. And if you think those numbers are staggering, consider who is carrying out these attacks: at least 86% of sexual assaults are reportedly being perpetrated by non-Native men, according to the US Department of Justice.
