TITLE IX—SAFETY FOR INDIAN
WOMEN
SEC. 901. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that—
(1) 1 out of every 3 Indian (including Alaska
Native) women are raped in their lifetimes;
(2) Indian women experience 7 sexual assaults
per 1,000, compared with 4 per 1,000 among Black
Americans, 3 per 1,000 among Caucasians, 2 per
1,000 among Hispanic women, and 1 per 1,000
among Asian women;

HR 3402 EAS
(3) Indian women experience the violent crime of
battering at a rate of 23.2 per 1,000, compared with
8 per 1,000 among Caucasian women;
(4) during the period 1979 through 1992, homi-
cide was the third leading cause of death of Indian
females aged 15 to 34, and 75 percent were killed by
family members or acquaintances;
(5) Indian tribes require additional criminal
justice and victim services resources to respond to vio-
lent assaults against women; and
(6) the unique legal relationship of the United
States to Indian tribes creates a Federal trust respon-
sibility to assist tribal governments in safeguarding
the lives of Indian women.
SEC. 902. PURPOSES.
The purposes of this title are—
(1) to decrease the incidence of violent crimes
against Indian women;
(2) to strengthen the capacity of Indian tribes to
exercise their sovereign authority to respond to violent
crimes committed against Indian women; and
(3) to ensure that perpetrators of violent crimes
committed against Indian women are held account-
able for their criminal behavior.
