If rape victims rarely report the crimes and if and when they do there is a cultural predisposition to not rat out relatives and clan relatives, should it be any suprise that a data set that is rarely complete and skewed in favor of ignoring relatives and clan relatives ends up concluding that non-indians commit 88% of the reported and analysed crime statistics?

To bad there isn't a breakdown of indian women who are abused and victimized by their non-indian spouses and boyfriends as opposed to just the average wandering unassociated non indian criminal rapists.



I posed a question. You advocate for tribal justice you don't approve of? Got it.



"Traditional manner", "traditional families" nice to see you supporting those quaint ideas, but haven't you heard those are not enough of a basis to deny equal treatment under the law!



What's the going rate in ponies and sheep to rape an indian woman? Is it more or less than the cost to rape an indian man?
If a non-indian woman is raped on tribal property can she and her family under tribal traditional justice opt for the ponies and sheep or is that not an available option? I mean it's not here fault if she's raped on the reservation so how can they deny her the same rights as any indian rape victim?
