The Fight To End Violence Against Indigenous Women Continues In Iowa

Published May 10, 2021 at 9:20 AM CDT Listen • 48:27 Courtesy of Marybelle Armajo At a rally in Des Moines on May 5, 2019, attendees wore red to honor the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Iowa. The statistics are devastating. According to the National Institute of Justice, four out of five American Indian or Alaska Native women have been victims of violence, and over half of Native women have been victims of sexual violence. Some advocates against such violence believe these numbers may even underestimate the severity of the issue.  Trisha Etringer, a member of the Winnebago Tribe living in Sioux City, got involved in advocating for greater awareness of violence against Native and Indigenous women after she found out one of her own aunties had gone missing and was found dead in California.

Christine Nobiss and Daphney Daniel were appointed Monday morning to fill the last two vacancies. Three other members were appointed last Tuesday.

IC Truth and Reconciliation Commission has two new members

04/12/21 After appointing someone who requested that their name be taken out of consideration for the post, and another member resigning, the Iowa City City Council appointed two new members to the city’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The commission had been suspended after a contentious few months. Their last meeting ended with chair Royceann Porter, Vice-Chair T’Shailyn Harrington, commissioner Anthony Curran  and, eventually, commissioner Raneem Hamad resigning. Last week, the Council unanimously selected Wangui Gathua, David Borger Germann, Chastity Dillard and Clinton Johnson to join the commission out of field of 27 applicants. Germann was appointed but due to what the city says is a software glitch, they were unaware that he had taken his name out of consideration for the position.
