In collaboration with a tribe in the western United States, this study surveyed a sample of Indigenous people (N = 27) to learn about their experiences with victimization.

RESULTS show that respondents experienced high amounts of recent relationship and lifetime victimization, mostly consistent with previous literature. Additional issues and challenges emerged from the data, such as low reporting rates and service accessibility. These findings are contextualized within prior IPV literature, and we offer recommendations for future research.
