Office for Vicms of Crime The Office for Vicms of Crime (OVC) was established by the Vicms of Crime Act of 1984 (VOCA) to serve as the federal government’s chief advocate for America’s crime vicms. OVC administers many formula and discreonary grants for programs designed to benefit crime vicms, and develops projects to enhance vicm’s rights and services.

S. Department of Justice Conference Overview Conference Image (see notation at the bottom of the poster where information concerning local crime victim assistance programs can be added for use in community education) The conference image created by Sam English, represents this year’s conference theme – “Generational Voices Uniting for Safety, Justice and Healing.” This Sam English painting depicts sacred symbols involving an Eagle, and the use of sage. Traditionally the sage is used for prayer or healing, which detracts negative energy and attracts positive energy as good spirits are attracted to the aroma. Tribes believe that the prayers and thoughts said with the hazy sage smoke will reach the highest of heights and go straight to the Creator where their voices will be heard. The Eagle is a sacred animal known for its ability to fly higher than any other species, and thought as the closest presence to the Creator. In the image, the eagle is protecting three people, who represent different generations. The image of the family represents the different generations within our own families. We can imagine the three people as a grandmother, daughter, and granddaughter or father, mother and child within our Native communities. The grandmother or father is holding an eagle feather, which is used in healing ceremonies to provide strength, encouragement and hope to those who are suffering. By grasping the eagle feather and embracing the daughter and granddaughter, the grandmother or father is ensuring their safety and healing. Conference Goals: This year's conference goals are: 1. Honoring and Listening to Victim/Survivor Voices: Creating victim‐centered/sensitive responses; being inclusive of victim/survivors ‐ particularly those from un‐served or underserved populations; and promoting peer to peer learning opportunities. 2. Promoting Safety, Justice and Healing: Justice for victims; justice for all; understanding jurisdictional issues; exercising tribal sovereignty to promote safety and justice for victims; and highlighting the resiliency of spirituality and healing in tribal communities. 3. Honoring the Wisdom of the Past: Understanding historical trauma; enlisting tribal elders as keepers of our tribal histories; and embracing traditional teachings. 4. Promoting Traditional Values: Promoting traditional values and incorporating traditional skills in crime victim services; upholding wellness, mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally; and framing victim services around tribal traditions. 5. Ensuring Safety, Justice and Healing for Seven Generations of Children: Addressing child sexual abuse and education on developing programs for victims of child sexual abuse; emphasis on crime victims within the juvenile justice system and support for keeping youth within the community. 6. Working in Harmony: Building partnerships with federal agencies; education on the importance of networking and working together in collaboration to strengthen services; and networking with Native men to address domestic violence and sexual assault. 7. Supporting and Educating Tribal Leaders: Educating and supporting efforts of tribal leaders to achieve accountability and responsibility to victims of crime. 8. Sustaining our Legacy: Developing skills and incorporating cultural approaches to enhance sustainability and measurability; increasing the accuracy of victimization research; and developing capacity within victim services. 9. Healing the Healers: Ensuring safety and support for service providers.

  • N.A.M.A. Research on Native American Music Category
    N.A.M.A. RESEARCH ON NATIVE AMERICAN MUSIC CATEGORY The music of the Indian is the spontaneous and sincere expression of the soul of a people. It springs from our own continent, and is thus, of all music, distinctly American. If Indian song be encouraged with Indian, and recognition of it awakened among our own people, America may one day contribute a unique music to the world of art. Natalie Curtis Musicologist I INTRODUCTION The Native American Music Association (N.A.M.A.) was established to ensure the preservation and expansion of traditional and contemporary Native American music initiatives. Through our four major programs consisting of; 1) educational scholarships and professional training for Native American youth, 2) artist and songwriter seminars and workshops, 3) national audio and video music archive, and 4) presenting arts showcases and placement opportunities, N.A.M.A. has become a central resource for the furtherance of all Native American music. In the past year, through the assistance of the ASCAP Foundation, our educational and training initiatives under Title IX have awarded over $4,000 in educational scholarships to various tribal students of the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Along with the National Music Publishers Association & Harry Fox Agency, we presented our first and very successful artist seminar. We have placed leading contemporary artist, Joanne Shenandoah (Oneida) in the highly successful PBS production, SPIRIT, and artist Gil Silverbird (Navajo, Apache) in John Tesh's national ONE WORLD tour. We have returned an inherited song of the late Apache leader, Geronimo, which had been lost since 1907, back to his family.
