From the head of Fox News to tribal council chambers to the everyday office environment, sexual harassment is a pervasive problem. Branches of the Navajo Nation are reviewing their policies and training after the only female delegate recently went public with harassment allegations. We’ll brush up on what sexual harassment is and how to prevent it. We’ll also discuss whether tribal laws provide better or worse protections for women who speak up in their workplace.
Guests:
Genevieve Jackson (Navajo) – county commissioner for district II in McKinley County, New Mexico
Devona Bradford (Zuni Pueblo) – sexual assault project coordinator for the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women
Matthew Fletcher (member of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians) – professor of law at Michigan State University and tribal appellate judge for several tribes
