More than 80%, or 1.5 million, of Native American women experience violence in their lifetimes, according to data from the National Institute of Justice.
In December of 2020, federal agents charged a 33-year-old man in the fatal stabbing of his pregnant girlfriend on the Pyramid Lake Reservation north of Reno. The victim was a member of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, and the woman’s children witnessed the incident.
And in February, a 39-year-old man was sentenced to serve 30 months in prison for assaulting a woman on the Pyramid Lake Reservation. He punched her with a closed fist, strangled and suffocated her in July 2020 and later pleaded guilty to related charges.
