Victimization response and resources in the tribal communities and on tribal lands varies. Jurisdiction is impacted if you are a tribal victim of a crime committed by a tribal member on tribal land, if you are a non-tribal victim of a crime committed by a tribal member on tribal land, if you are a tribal victim of a crime committed by a tribal member on non-tribal land or if you are a non-tribal victim of a crime committed by a tribal member on non-tribal land.
It is important to consult legal and cultural resources to determine what rights need to be protected and what resources might be available.
