Here is an excerpt from CSVANW about their event: "In 1995, 3 powerful Native women, Peggy Bird (Kewa), Darlene Correa (Laguna Pueblo), and Genne James (Navajo), came together with a shared vision to support Native survivors and advocates who have been impacted by violence in Native communities.For 30 years, CSVANW has worked to break cycles of violence, amplify survivor voices, and strengthen community responses to domestic and sexual violence. What began with three founders has grown into a thriving, Native-led nonprofit with 16 staff members and dedicated interns who carry forward their legacy every day."
