Healing from Domestic Violence – Mashkawizii
Trickster Cultural Center is featuring an exhibit that although it focuses on Native women veterans, represents the bigger picture of domestic violence in all communities. In the physical exhibit space at Trickster Cultural Center, the featured portraits of women veterans stand in the middle of the room, surrounded by portraits of other men and women, both Native and non-Native, that have survived domestic violence. Some have experienced acts of physical or verbal domestic violence, or a combination of both. Domestic violence is an issue that affects all communities, all races, and all genders. Together we can bring awareness to these issues and create change for ourselves and for the next generations. Please go to Trickster’s Virtual Exhibit page to learn more!
