American Indian and Alaska Native women face proportionally higher levels of violence than any other group of women in the United States. Sliver of a Full Moon follows the story of five Native women and two Native men who worked to restore tribal criminal jurisdiction over non-Native perpetrators of domestic violence on tribal lands in the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. While celebrating this historic victory, Sliver of a Full Moon also emphasizes that this solution is narrow. Consequently the play asks: what will it take to restore the jurisdiction of all tribes to protect the lives of all Native women?

 

The Honorable Judge Fletcher of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit will offer introductory remarks. We are also honored to be joined by Lynn Malerba, Chief of the Mohegan Tribe, and Deborah Parker, Vice Chairwoman of the Tulalip Tribes.
