Domestic Violence Among Rural Alaska Native Women JO - Affilia A1 - Shepherd, Judy SP - 488 EP - 510 VL - 16 IS - 4 N2 - Although domestic violence is now recognized as a serious social problem in American society, little information is available on this problem in rural indigenous communities. This article, which is derived from in-depth interviewswith 9 rural Alaska Native womenwho have been in abusive relationships, explores the environmental and cultural context of domestic violence in a remote Alaska Native community and the adaptations that such a context requires for the provision of culturally appropriate services.
