FY 2021 tribal governments program

The Eastern Shawnee Tribe received a $828,519 project grant award from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Office on Violence Against Women. The grant was awarded under the Violence Against Women Discretionary Grants for Indian Tribal Governments program (CFDA 16.587) and will support efforts to increase the Tribe's capacity to respond to violent crimes against Native American women and develop victim services for cases involving violence against Native American women through September 30, 2025. Specifically, over the four-year grant period the Tribe will work to strengthen law enforcement and prosecution strategies for combating violence against women and expand victim services. This grant aims to enhance the Tribe's ability to address violence against women in alignment with the program's goal of supporting tribal efforts to combat violent crimes against Native American women.
