Introduction
Intimate partner violence against women has a long history, but the incidence and
intensity of such violence vary across societies over time and even today. This type of violence in
the large community is often observed as a mechanism for suppressing women. Intimate partner
violence may result from a right, misogyny, superiority, or similar attitudes possessed by the
criminal or his forceful nature, particularly towards Native American women (Mazza, et.al.
2021). Intimate partner violence against women in families who live together in a domestic
marriage is a fairly old social issue for American society. Intimate partner violence against
Native American women is still present in 21th century which leads to high rate of murders,
suicides, and unequal distribution of power.
History of Intimate Partner Violence against Native American Women
Before the 1970s, none of the researchers or politicians did not address this issue.
Meanwhile, in the United States, from 1976 until 1985, there were 16,595 homicides in which
the victim was deprived of life by her partner in marriage or intimate union (Mazza, et.al. 2021).
This represented 8.8% of the total number of homicides recorded in the country for this decade.
In total, 340 people were killed by their spouse, whose marriage was dissolved, 193 people died
due to violent group actions of criminals (Gilbert, 2020).
In 113 cases, the perpetrators of the murders were acquitted. Overall, 98.6% of the 16 595
cases of murder had only one victim. (Gilbert, 2020). Over 4/5 percent American Indian Native
women have faced violence in their lifespan, and above 1/3 experienced domestic violence in the
2021 (Mazza, et.al. 2021). This contains 9.9% who have faced sexual violence, about 5.6 % who
have practiced physical aggressive behavior by an intimate partner, around 27.3 percent who
