Supportive walk

for crime victims

Family Services Coordinator Amy Mendoza held
a Victims of Crime Awareness Walk on July 22.
Mendoza explained that this topic is important to
the community as most tribal members are victims
of crime, whether it is firsthand or generational.
She said participation was “absolutely amazing”
and exceeded expectations. She also would like
to express how thankful she is for the wonderful
support provided by the tribe’s Social Services
department. Mendoza is already looking ahead to
the second Victims of Crime Walk next year.
