The “Sacred Responsibility: Protecting Our People” survey is intended for Native programs that primarily offer services related to domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, or other forms of violence. The survey is a collaboration with Urban Indian Health Institute (UIHI), Alaska Native Women's Resource Center, National Indigenous Women's Resource Center, StrongHearts Native Helpline, and Alliance of Tribal Coalitions to End Violence, to better understand the current services and potential impacts of federal funding cuts to Native DV/SA/MMIP programs nationwide.
Information gathered will be used to create a report for Congress, the Trump Administration, Tribal Nations, Tribal Organizations, and Urban Indian Organizations, to advocate for continued federal funding to uphold treaty and trust responsibilities. This snapshot will offer the very first national picture of American Indian and Alaska Natives seeking services, number of unmet requests, and the potential impact of federal funding cuts.
Additional information is available on the survey page. Please refer all questions regarding this survey to [email protected].

Help us defend tribal sovereignty.
At Native News Online, our mission is rooted in telling the stories that strengthen sovereignty and uplift Indigenous voices — not just at year’s end, but every single day.
Because of your generosity last year, we were able to keep our reporters on the ground in tribal communities, at national gatherings and in the halls of Congress — covering the issues that matter most to Indian Country: sovereignty, culture, education, health and economic opportunity.
That support sustained us through a tough year in 2025. Now, as we look to the year ahead, we need your help right now to ensure warrior journalism remains strong — reporting that defends tribal sovereignty, amplifies Native truth, and holds power accountable.
The stakes couldn't be higher. Your support keeps Native voices heard, Native stories told and Native sovereignty defended.
Stand with Warrior Journalism today.
