The grants to indian tribal governments program assists tribal governments, and authorized designees of tribal governments, to 1) decrease the incidence of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, SEX trafficking, and stalking in tribal communities; 2) strengthen the capacity of tribes to exercise their sovereign authority to respond to these violent crimes; and 3) ensure that perpetrators of these violent crimes are held accountable for their criminal behavior. Dena nena henash is a consortium of federally recognized tribes located in fairbanks, alaska. The tanana chiefs conference (TCC) tribal protective services, a program of dena nena henash, works to address violence against american indian/alaska native women by providing emergency services, transitional housing, counseling, medical advocacy, mobile advocacy services, and traditional healing gatherings for survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, SEX trafficking, and stalking. With this funding, TCC tribal protective services will: 1) increase tribal capacity to address these crimes through outreach and education; 2) provide comprehensive direct advocacy services for victims; and 3) increase access to transitional housing services for victims. Dena nena henash has partnered with tribal protective services program advisory committee, a committee including women from the community to be served, to plan this project. The timing for performance of this new award is 36 months.
