title: Violence in Native America: a historical perspective.
abstract: This article is meant to provide an overview of common Native American values and the effect of the imposition of non-Native American belief systems on our communities. The article uses common abusive tactics employed by batterers and juxtaposes these tactics with a historical overview of the dominant culture's treatment of native cultures. This material serves as an outline to examine one's own community, tribe, or nation to gain a greater understanding of how society has traveled to this place and where the social order goes from here.
